Markie 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nothing is confirmed yet, but I am planning to visit Fattwins in Hakuba this Easter for a week and the provisional dates are 18-25 March. CB and BP, I hope you can make it up there during that period. Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thursday, the snow is always crap in Hakuba when I am there, so I strongly recommend you go to Niseko instead. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I might be able to swing a weekend trip but doubtful. I can make it the previous week and will most likely be up there for a week around the 10th-17th ish markie...can you swing by Kansai?? Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 She is always invited to Haks. As for % of my guests id say less than you think. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 No promises but I'm going to keep it in the back of my mind. I won't be in Oz this time. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 CB I am not to flexible on my holiday dates this Easter and since this is a relatively early Easter I'm hoping to be able to do Sun Alpina at last. So I may not be able to catch you in Hakuba nor Kansai kondo. But as I'm counting down my last working days in my life, we'll have plenty of time to work something out in the not too distant future. Ewok 2. Thanks, and Happy New Year to you too. That is certainly not too late, especially since Chinese New Year is not till next month. Right now, I am busy looking forward to my week in France (Val d'Isere/Tignes) in a few weeks. That should be really good. And then after that, I can still enjoy Hakuba in Easter! It was really great fun in Furano but definitely not as much fun as if you had come too! They have some very delicious Beef BBQ restaurants there. The weather was very nice while I was there and the slopes were not crowded at all. You have to try it out some time. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh great, sunrise! It would be great to ski with you again. I will always remember the best ski-lifts rides of my life were those I shared with you when you were singing all the way up. Link to post Share on other sites
Ewok 2 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 hooraaaay, if sunrise can come up, she will play the piano, and we can sing a song together, echineko Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 so Markie, you'd better get your ass to Hokkaido again then. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Fatts, I know it may close depending on the snow conditions but this is the earliest Easter we've had for a long time so I hope this year it can hold out till I arrive. Thursday, you don't need to twist my arm to get me to Hokkaido. But don't you hate the slow processing of the immigration at the airport there, both when we arrive and when we depart? I think I might avoid the direct flight there next time and maybe go via Kansai....and maybe pick up a CB on the way there. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Markie Sun Alpina closes for economics not for lasck of snow. After the MArch long holidays Iwatake, Sun Alpina Norikura and Cortina all close. April is goryu/47 Happo and Tsugaike. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Honto desu ka? Dam! So I won't be able to try them out this year. So far, I've got Doris and Steve coming with me this time. Another four have expressed interest but have not confirmed yet. Expect us there in the evening of Mar 18. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Are you staying here or renting a cottage? I have no car to give this year sorry. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 I would like to do a bit of both but if there is no van, that could be a problem. We might want somewhere near the slopes. Could you find out what it would cost to rent a van for a week? It could be for Hakuba only or we could pick it up from Nagano and return it there. Link to post Share on other sites
