Nisoko

2 months ago, I realised that: 1) I was addicted to reading dross on the internet, lots of it actually on my Facebook page (stuff I didn't write, of course!), I was always checking it 2) what I was checking really mostly wasn't interesting 3) increasingly wary of privacy issues, not that I totally understand it all. But mostly 1) and 2) It seemed more and more like a sad and sometimes even pathetic waste of time and life, and I felt that something needed to be done. So I decided to permenantly delete my Facebook account. It felt odd at first, like withdrawl. But I quickl

So, anywhere then?

So many people booking so early is another point that puts Niseko and region different to most other skijo. Friend of mine works in a hotel in Nagano and he said they only even start to take bookings for winter in September!

Have you not been yet Gunma Boarder?

Numerous days in Niseko would quality for me. When I went to Rusutsu this year it wasn't as good.

Fine season Mike. Safe trip home.

And knickers!

White Men Can't Jump. Thanks for reminding me about Woody/Wesley. Want to get to see that again.

A bit more powdery please.

Place near us has artificial grass. I didn't know until recently, it looks pretty real to me. I think things have moved on since 'Astroturf' or whatever it was called.

Sounds great, snowdude.

How many years ago was it when you were living in Niseko, Go Native?

I haven't been following really but have there been tons of complaints about the decidedly un-winter like weather?

I think the crowds are going to start putting more people off. Especially if they hear that in most other places the lines are close to non-existant. Not everyone needs posh restaurants that you get similar to back home.

Last season winds were a bitch. Read the archive Niseko Now reports on here.

Hope it gets better!

And I came in here thinking that it was about Hakuba....!

Mt Granview?

What is it you knock there, Tubby?

Great. Good move NPG. Definitely entering this one, it will be very popular! So can I complain in advance that there are only 3 winners and not 10!

And.... remember the cheese!

Good times

Nice one lastrocker
