Better take out a bank loan Thursday . Not only do you have the high ski lift pass, lets not forget how expense Europe is for food, accomodation and the all important alcohol etc!!!!

Yeah I have been there for the last 3 poor seasons - Last season I didn't think it was going to stop snowing and for someone who is height challenged I quite often was hitting hip deep powder YEAH SHOCKING SEASON. I was constantly worried about scratching my skies on rocks NOT I don't know why people keep going back to Japan year after year???????????? Maybe it is for the bad snow

Frangipani is a flower found in the tropicals. Highly scented flowers in big bunches all through summer. In Australia there seems to be some sort of frangipani cult among female drivers (and male drivers who listen to the village people) and they feel the need to stick them all over their cars.

Well we may have to remove him from this thread and put him in Important News of the day. It is starting to come out that MAYBE he crashed because his wife was attacking him with a golf club.

What is the go with those frangipani stickers. Sorry just don't get it!!!

I remember one year at the in laws we had to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!!! Yep the whole song ALL THE WAY THROUGH

Maybe Tiger Woods belongs in here after crashing his car into a fire hydrant and then a tree. WHAT THE!!

HEY HEY HEY MB I am a skier and CERTAINLY DON'T wear High Waisted pants. . The only reason I am a skier am to much of a baby to go back to basics and learn snowboarding which I would love to try. I was chuffed the other day I was at the lights and have Ski Bunny - Rude Girls (very in ski shop in Canada) and Niseko Hirafu stickers on the back of my car. I had a car load pull up at the lights yelling and waving I apparently was A SIC DUDE!!! Although it is schoolies week here!!

Sorry not much credit goes to people who dish on Mike!! Could get really bitchy but that's not my thing!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEPOW

Okay now I don't like this thread at all!!!! I want to go there now and not Niseko!!

Thank you Thursday for posting this thread. It has been very very interesting reading. We are now looking into going there in 2011. Just how rund done is the hotel?? Do they still have hot water and clean sheets?? As long as I can come back after a days skiing and have a hot shower and get into a clean bed I will be happy.

Just watched the Bottle Shop. It was an enjoyable movie. It was about the Americans breaking into the French Wine dominance.

Yep had an awesome pair of Sorel Snow Boots LOVED THEM Until someone borrowed them from the Fuji Niseko while we had dinner and I had to walk home in my socks!!!!!

Yep that is them. Mine aren't that flash but they certainly do the job

Not at all. We fly out of Brisbane and have a connecting flight to New Chitose same day. Get into the ski resort about Midnight. Ready to hit the fields the next morning.

You can get them when you get to Niseko or at your local Snow Shop. Snowbiz in Queensland stock them I think they around $14-95. Best purchase I made. Mr Snowhunter is way to cool to wear them but I certainly love them and have a giant smile on my face everytime Mr Snowhunter goes sliding past me, falls over, does a pirouette followed by a double axle and then the spilts whilst looking like he didn't slip.

Happy 21st RB Have a good one!

Heed everyones warnings about slipping on the ice. Most injuries in Niseko are from Slipping on the ice and being hit by snow falling off the roof's. You may see more people slipping over on the ice than crashing on the ski runs!!! Best thing I ever bought was the spiked slip on cleats. LOVE THEM. If you don't get them you will definately be doing the Niseko Ice Walk shuffle. Mockkie we will also be there in Mid Feb if your interested we will be doing a day trip to Otaru and around the 20th there may be the Yukitopia Ice Festival in Kutchan. You'll find plenty to do if your not

Oh and another little hint DON'T BUY DUTY FREE ALCOHOL unless you are a Bundy or Wine drinker. The alcohol is WAY cheaper in Japan and is available in all the supermarkets including SecioMart.

Bus goes regularly every day into Kutchan - You have a choice of Co-Op or MaxValu. Max Valu probably has more selection and is definately bigger but The Co-op is where a lot of the locals shop. When you get off the bus make sure you go and try the OSHII bakery/cake shop on the central street 2 shops down on your left The bus is fairly cheap from memory this year it was 360y one way. It takes about 15 minutes and leaves just up from the Seico Mart. Seico Mart is good for those little things you forgot while at the Supermarket. Also Gloria Plaza has a nice little selection o

Hey Alx - I am a bit lazy I went through my travel agent and got the accomodation. We are staying at the Sapporo Grand 2010 and stayed at the Century Royale this year.

HI Grug Welcome Group of 8 of us will be there 4th February to 24th February.

Avatar looks good!! I think that will be the next one I will go and see. HEY HERE IS A FUNNY THOUGHT ~ No one on this thread has mentioned waiting to see New Moon?? On the news people were going mental over it. Am I missing something??
