They are saying that she could walk away with up to $300 million. Not bad for 5 years work.

I remember the first time I went to Japan and I was the same totally freaking out if there was going to be snow there. Everyone kept telling me that by the time my holiday was over I would be sick of the snow (I thought they were all insane) WHAMO one night a storm hit and it dumped and dumped and dumped I really didn't think it was going to stop AND IT DIDN'T and that is why I come back every year

GN can you confirm it looks like Niseko is get some big dumps of snow?? Heaps more forecast for the weekend. I may have to take a sicky so I can watch the web cams all day!

I am excited for everyone leaving soon. It looks like you are going to have HEAPS of snow if you are off to Niseko.

I was going to post my photo's but after seeing those mine are all totally GAY!!!! I am going to get the BEST photo's next year THAT IS MY GOAL!!

Thanks MP I just bought a pair from Tactics in the US. I got the IOS which are the smaller version. I really liked the vision you got in them. Only bummer was they didn't have a pair in a colour to match my ski gear

I think that is already more than it had last year!!

I think the South Island of New Zealand is very pretty but as for the skiing, bad days out number good days. Snow is really hit and miss and you have to drive about 45mins up the side of a mountain to get to the resorts everyday. Conditions are usually icy as with no tree cover the mountains get hammered by winds. Mt Hutt = Mt Shut because of how often it is closed due to the strong winds. If you like skiing ice then NZ may be for you. I know there is a Japanese gentleman who goes nearly every year because he loves the ice!!!

You can also just heat up Sweetened Condensed Milk and that turns into yummy decadent caramel.

Well now you have us all addicted to your thread - you will just have to put work in second place and keep those brilliant ~ awesome ~ fantastic photo's coming for us snow junkies. WE NEED OUR DAILY FIX!!!!!

I see today he has given golf up to work on becoming a better husband, father and person. Sorry I didn't realise it was the golf that turned him into a root rat!! Lucky my husband snowboards and doesn't play golf!

MMmmmmmm!!! sorry Talking of Smiths I am looking at getting some Smith IOS has anyone got any opinions to help out???

I always remember my friend at christmas time who has now moved back to the US. Every Christmas she would decorate her house inside and out and it looked like a Christmas Grotto. You would drive up the drive way there was an amazing christmas light show and then walk into a christmas wonderland, she decorated EVERY ROOM. Everything was christma - food, cookies, drinks EVERYTHING it was great fun. She also used to do the same at every dinner party Mexican, Spanish etc. We are having Christmas at our place this year 20 people coming - Very Traditional Christmas Turkey, Ham, Roasted

Thursday we will be waiting for your reviews! We are still thinking about going there in 2011.

I am keen to meet up for drinks with anyone going 10th - 24th Feb. You wont be able to miss me I will be the one with Snow Japan Stickers over everything!!

February 10th to the 24th

Just Spectacular

We still swear by Travelex online - excellent rates. Just order what you want online and then they send it to your nearest Harvey World Travel Store and you pick it up. Just get cash WAY less hassle. Cards are fine if you are going somewhere that takes cards but in my experience in Niseko most places and shops don't accept cards. Can you imagine how busy the one ATM in Niseko is going to be!!!

This countdown clock is fun. I have set my departure time up and when I am having a bad day I click on it and cheer myself up. http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcount.html

Just out of interest. I know we will get big dumps and they will come (maybe). Are people who are leaving soon starting to get a little nervous that there is no snow and not a lot forecasted?? We don't go until February but I have been checking the weather reports daily waiting for that first big dump of the season.
