Beautiful Photo Mike!! Went off on a little day dream when I saw it THANKS to Snow Japan for the Report today I was totally depressed thinking the rain will have washed everything away but your up beat report has given me optimism that there will still be good snow in 2 weeks.

PP if your trip is already paid for want you lose more by cancelling than just shortening it??

PP I am shattered for you . I feel bad that we are all excited about our trips and your world has collapsed. We are also under a cloud as we are unsure if Mr Snowhunter will have a job come the end of February but we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it. Maybe just a week away PP. It is better than nothing and it will give you a small amount of enjoyment and take your mind off things for awhile.

Oh God thanks for the warning MP. Maybe she should link up with the rest of my group as they are all gunho boarders and skiers. I will stick with the beginners on Family Ace Run

PP you have made me very sad What sort of job? I think you should still go but maybe not for so long. Is your trip already paid for? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you, there are a lot of people out there in the same position.

YEAH YEAH Banno RUB IT IN. Yeah weather is good but hard when you are sitting here watching it dump in Niesko. They are forcasting rain next week so I hope all the snow doesn't get washed away. Hope your having a good time!!

Okay this may be the gayest thread ever but I am interested to know when and where everyone is going. Snowhuntress going to Niseko 8th Feb - 24th Feb with 4 friends

A carpet python - totally harmless but did nearly pee my pants when we had to move it 100mt down to the feed shed. Lucky Mr Snowhunter is a big brave Aussie bloke We are having a snake fest at the moment in the last 2 weeks we have had an eastern brown in the carport, red belly black nearly got me at the close line, then my carpet python friend and tonight a tree snake fell out the tree in front of me. Must be the weather at the moment.

I just got Pink's latest CD and it rocks. Okay alot of it is having a go at her ex but there are some really rocking songs on it.

I have been training for my trip and cut right down on alcohol. After having 1 beer I woke with an incredible hangover NOT HAPPY. My girlfriend informed me that I wasn't piss fit and if I didn't want to suffer hangovers when I was in Japan I needed to get piss fit. So I started 1/2 a beer a night and you know what she was right NO MORE HANGOVERS. So now I am ski fit and piss fit for my JAPOW ADVENTURE!!!

I have some merino wool socks and am a share holder in hand and feet warmers. I stuff the things everywhere. It makes for a much more enjoyable day. Here is a little hint for everyone. DO NOT get gel coated toe nails with Diamantes on them for your ski holiday. My toe nails jammed up against the end of my boots and by day 5 the pain was unbearable. 4 weeks later I lost both my big toe nails

Hi Emila, I ski by myself when we go to Niseko so if you are lonely I would be happy to have some company. I am not a great skier that is why I get left by myself. I am confident to go fromthe top of Hirafu and Higashyma but I don't go real fast. Aussie as well (sorry). Sound like a total nuff nuff don't I There from 10th Feb to 24th Feb.

OOOOHHHHHH YUMMY my mouth is watering I can't wait to try these. I have written it in my book for must do things whilst in Japan!!!!

FOUND THE REASON FOR LIMITED BREAKFAST VISITORS. Have a close look under the leaves. She has been located down to my feed shed where he is welcome to eat all the mice and rats he can find. She was about 3 metres long.

Okay major panic now subsided heavy rain forecasted for Monday Morning has been down graded to light rain pheww!!!!! Can't wait for Mikes report on today's conditions

Don't you know the best cure for a hangover is to have another beer!!! Give it 2 days you'll be fine and back on it.

Yeah I'm going with Boy George - See what happens when you hang a around public toilets playing with little boys!!!

"The shark dragged the girl under water twice before her cousin reached the scene on his surfboard and hit the shark, causing it to let go, said Senior Sergeant Jason Elmer of St Helens Police. The cousin, a man in his 20s from Queensland, pulled the teenager up on to his surfboard and paddled towards the shore. The shark followed and circled the frightened pair. At one stage they caught a wave, but the shark was in the same wave, said Senior Sergeant Elmer, who arrived on the scene shortly after the attack. "They managed to get to shore," he said. "There's a significant bite out of

Well done Everyone I am impressed. I have been hitting the gym, biking and running. I have just upped my stretching with the thought I want to be nice and limber for any tumbles I may (will ) take.

How's everyones training going??? I'm still powering along although I think I will take the week off before we leave to get some energy back. (Well that's my excuse anyway)

Yep swimming, wake boarding and surfing is definately not top of my list at the moment. Shark Attack just off our coast they think was a white pointer. Did you read the story about in Tassie. The little girls cousin jumped in to save her and the shark was thrashing her around, throwing her in the air and then dived under with her. He paddled out and saved her and the shark kept at them the whole way in. SCARY!!!!!

Heres one of those ridiculously stupid questions??? The snow level in niseko is 265cm with snow forecast all week BUT on Monday heavy rain is forecast. Will it destroy the base there or does it ice up what is there. Is it normal to get rain this time of year??

A little disappointed we usually have HEAPS - Galahs (Pink and Grey), King Parrots (emerald green and bright red) and the Currowongs, Magpies, Butcher Birds, Kookaburra's but they haven't been around as much this week I guess there is plenty of food out there for them with all the summer growth.

Dufus!! He was only 5 months old when we found him. He is a total dream. He had been very badly beaten and still has issues with big men and the Freezer (go figure??) also if you lift your arms above your head to quickly. HE LOVES SMOOCHIES I guess he never got them before so we do have night smooch seasons . We have 2 others as well a white alsatian and a staffy.

This is the latest addition to our Family!! Found dumped on a highway, we have now had him a year, still has a few psychological problems BUT WE LOVE HIM!!!
