WHERE IS MIKEPOW & GO NATIVE to confirm this
Same never saw any Snow Making Machinery Anywhere. It would be a shame to think Niseko had to consider using snow making I think that is one of the appeals that you are going to get good natural snow.
-
Thanks for that information E we have only ever caught the train but the bus might be fun this time and it seems quicker??
-
ARE YOU SURE??? Do you mean just in the box of Favourites OR GOD FORBID they are no longer going to make Crunchies??
-
Mental day at work - 36oC - No snow in Niseko to keep me cool. I HAVE NEXT FRIDAY OFF YIPPPEEEE!!
No storm tonight to cool things off

Some one sent me an email the other day an it was in text and I had absolutely NO IDEA what the heck they were talking about so I just deleted it.Same as people who send jokes and poems etc that are SOOOOOOOO LONG. I just don't have the time and can't be bothered reading them DELETED!! Funny pictures I can deal with INSTANT Gratification.

My only addiction on the web was with SnowJapan BUT that addiction has now led to another one.
In one of the threads there was a link to You Tube (which I had never used either) and a Chimpanzee riding a Segway. Well now I am totally addicted and have been downloading all the Pan Kun You Tubes.
He certainly gives you a chuckle for the day.

Sorry SG I totally agree with GN. I am in marketing and retail and I am telling you FIRST HAND if you scratch someone's back they will definitely look after you. I network a lot and that is were I have got a lot of my return business and recommendations from.
-
That is exactly why they get the discount. WORD OF MOUTH if you look after them they hopefully recommend you next time someone is looking for a motel.
Airline Staff get heaps of perks with their job - Cheap accommodation, Super Cheap flights anywhere, they can claim nearly everything back on tax including their makeup, perfume, pantyhose, taxi's etc.

At work I only work through IE but today was to scared to turn it on to get anything and swapped over to FireFox which I worked out pretty quickly and bookmarked all my work sites.
I will just keep using MF for now as knowing my luck one of the web sites I use is going to be one of the bad ones.

This may be a little off thread. How far are the snow monkey's from Toyko??
-
Kewl I WANT ONE
. I am going to stick it on my A*** so you can see it everytime I crash 
and one on the back of my beanie so you can see it when I go flying down the hill out of control 
and one on the front of my Jacket 
Do you think I have it covered.

This should cheer everyone up Niseko forecast is for Light snow from Thursday with moderate snow on Sunday Afternoon up to 7cm and HEAVY Snow forecast up to 16cm for Sunday Night.
Is everyone a little more cheerful now!!
-
YEAH YEAH you bunch of skytes
Just think of us poor pleebs in Oz dealing with mental Christmas Crowds to make money to get there in
57 DAYS!!!!!
Actually now I think about it your reports and pics are the only thing keeping me sane at the moment.
THANXS !!!!

Matt I was exactly the same as you last year so you would think that I would be a little more under control this year NOT!!!
I nearly passed out with the first snow fall back in October and then the first few days in Niseko then I started worrying that all my friends were coming this year because I had built it all up so much and there wasn't going to be any snow.
THEN I REMEMBERED the day I got lost in Kutchan and was walking around the back streets totally dwarfed by the MOUNTAINS of snow on the side of the roads - seeing cars that had been buried by large snow falls over night (and I mean buried). Also one lasting memory was the snow dump out of town with truck load after truck load dumping mountains of snow all day.
DON'T PANIC IT WILL COME!!!

I saw Transformers last night and really enjoyed it.
-
My sincere condolences MB. I feel your pain.

I remember the devastation when my youngest nephew, all of 6, had been naughty and I snapped at him well Santa is watching and he won't be bringing you anything this year. To which he snapped back and said Santa is a Faggot.
Glad to report 10 minutes later I heard him in his room talking to the ceiling apologies to Santa for being naughty and calling him a Faggot and he will leave him out extra cookies and carrots for the reindeer.
I think it is our sad realization that once they don't believe in Santa anymore they are not our little babies.

SJ certainly earning their money now with all the updates. Hope you still get time for a ski. Everyone appreciates all your hard work

Mr Snowhunter works in the theme park industry and they just went through there and sacked a heap of people. Strange seeing as they are coming up to peak season
I guess that is the risk when you are owned by Americans who are not doing well.I think that is Karma for those idiot employees who were caught stealing MB - lets see them try and find a job out there at the moment and now they have lost their christmas bonuses (SUCKED IT). I am in Small Business so I know how hard it is with staff especially when there are large amounts of cash that come over the counter and stock that can easily go for a walk and not be picked up till the next stocktake or ordering.

Thank you Mamabear. I have now increased my knowledge and am glad to report I think I bought Omiyage last year.
-
What is Omiyage??????????
-
Brilliant Idea Thursday
. I will look out where to get mine whilst in Niseko. -
Yeah UK Channel on Austar. That's where I watch them. On Holiday's you are lucky enough to sometimes get Marathons.
-
I agree JA. People forget that when us Aussies come over we are leaving behind summer temperatures of 30oC. Also for us spoilt ones here on the Gold Coast we find 10oC in winter here FREEZING.
There is nothing worse than being cold whilst you are skiing. It can ruin the day. I have cozy warm ski gear and recommend YUMMY Hot Chocolate at lunchtime.
Oh yeah and I stuff every possible space with foot and hand warmers.

I'm hearing you we have just struggled through the Equine Influenza Virus where we lost 95% of our trade for 8 months and now we are struggling with a recession (sorry forgot Australia is not in a recession - RIGHT)!!
