[Overseas readers - how long do you stay?]

More than a week is difficult - but a week from Hong Kong is definitely do-able.

[Hong Kongites loving skiing in Japan]

I'm sure it it, though perhaps tiring.

 

Some of the guests have hangovers the next day.

[What Provoked you to start Skiing or Snowboarding?]

16520 yen? Bargain!

 

Zermatt is magical. Get fine weather and it's just fantastic. I'd love to go back in winter.

I might add that my power on and power off times are both considerably less than they were using XP.

[Hong Kongites loving skiing in Japan]

Can you tell me too!

 

I don't have PMs yet just tell me where abouts. Not that I need the equipment I would just like to go and laugh at the prices

I have Vista too and find it surprising that an objective person would say that XP is much better as the experience of using Vista is far better.

Ski shops?

I wouldn't know, I have bought all my equipment in Tokyo!

I would imagine them being expensive.

[Japanese ski resorts changing over the years]

I have been going to Niseko for a number of years now and have seen it develop from a much quieter place to what it is now, and of course with interest seeing what it will become as well.

 

I have also been to Yamagata Zao and Shiga Kogen/Nozawa and I really enjoyed those places, but just once each.

 

I was wondering if other places have changed in a similar way to how Niseko has over the last 5-10 years?

 

Thanks, good to be here!

[Hong Kongites loving skiing in Japan]

Yes I just saw your profile! Very enthusiastic is seems.

 

I have been to Niseko a few times too. Interesting to see it change over the years.

[Hong Kongites loving skiing in Japan]

Hi there! Hajimemashite!

 

 

Do you visit Japan as well thursday?

[Poll - how long have you been in Japan]

I don't live in Japan, just visit!

[Hong Kongites loving skiing in Japan]

Anyone else on here from Hong Kong?

 

I have been visiting Japan in winter for a number of times now. My first ever ski was in Niseko, when it was quite different to what it is now (still love it!) and I was hooked there and then.

 

Nice to meet you!

[In Japan?]

Hong Kong.

 

 

I have been visiting Japan in winter quite a few times now - never enough!

[What Provoked you to start Skiing or Snowboarding?]

Oh, I first went skiing in Niseko a while back, and have seen it change and grow over the years.

[What Provoked you to start Skiing or Snowboarding?]

I went to Switzerland in the summer about 6 years ago. I thought it was a fantastic place, probably the place I have enjoyed visiting most. Absolutely beautiful place.

[Skier or snowboarder THE POLL]

I have skied the last 4 seasons.
