Quote:However I have heard pretty bad stories about how the Aussies act especially in Niseko.
Were there not stories from other areas as well? Off hand I seem to rememeber a few coming from Hakuba, and not even involving Aussies. No? -

Well in some or lots of cases maybe so, but it's not always that simple is it? -
Goldfrapp like the new one.

Good on you Charlotte. May you hit the slopes at just the right time for the magical conditions.

The fact is most people aren't bothered about wanting to be deep in the middle of a Japanese experience other than being here and enjoying the awesome snow. People get hooked on Japan once they have been here the first time.

Manual all the way. I have only had a one time experience of automatic but I really didn't like it. Perhaps there's more to it than I experienced that day..

Please please please don't remake it.
Are any remakes of classics like this every halfway decent?

I got out of bed at 9am, then went to ski some powder. Then I had yakiniku night time. Good day.

Boycott the spammers.
I also did not sign up for it, but got it.

Friend sent me this, quite thought provoking indeed.

We’ve all heard the “official conspiracy theory” of the Death Star attack. We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And we’ve all seen the video over, and over, and over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.
Like many citizens of the Empire, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed. And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.
Presented here are some of the results of my soul-searching regarding this painful event. Like many citizens, I have many questions that I would like answered: was the mighty Imperial government really too incompetent to prevent a handful of untrained nerf-herders from destroying one of their most prized assets? Or are they hiding something from us? Who was really behind the attack? Why did they want the Death Star destroyed? No matter what the answers, we have a problem.
Below is a summary of my book, Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of the Death Star Attack, which presents compelling evidence that we all may be the victims of a fraud of immense proportions.
Uncomfortable Questions about the Death Star Attack
1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?
2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station’s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?
3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?
4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?
5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?
6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.” Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?
7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?
8) How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

Of course it is!

I used to watch it when I first came to Japan - the Takanohana brothers and Akebono Konishiki but I'd have trouble remembering a name now.

I am fairly new to Niseko but heard how much it has changed over the last 5-10 years. A dude showed me a photo of Niseko like 30 years ago. Very interesting. I'll have to try and scan it and throw it up here.
Overseas readers - how long do you stay?
in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry

I have a poll question for those members overseas who visit Japan for skiing and snowboarding - about how many nights are you coming for?
I'd be interested to see what spread we get for that!
Thanking you
