Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Another gaijin goes off the deep end; surely not being able to speak a word of Japanese drove him insane? Maybe like the guy from Peru (?) in Hiroshima several years ago who kidnapped an ele school girl and cut her into pieces Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 For the recreational skier, *ME*, it's an awesome place. 40 degrees down Jumbo, then your thighs burnout *ME*. Down Grand Slalom, then your thighs burn out 1/3 way down. *ME*. Down to the beer machines at the Alpen. Thank god. *ME*. SO sod it. Niseko is NOT flat. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 nah, the steep part of Jumbo is about 100M, that's enough for me. There's no point in taking the average when there's a steep part that actually scares people. That's ordinary people, who ski for fun. I've been there many times. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 And I repeat.... Quote: Ahhhh!!! DUCK! We get it already! **Niseko does not have currently marked courses that are 'steep' - and the legends prefer the death defying drops in other locales.. **Niseko has plenty enough challenging terrain for the recreational skier/boarder. Thursday loves it. So do I. I'm sure we would enjoy Hakks too - just there is likely to be a lot less skiable area for US. Let back on topic, huh? Thursday - you big pot stirrer!!!

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Apologies - on looking back the pot stirrer was CB - sorry Thursday! (And before someone jumps down my throat about my 'skiable area for us' comment - I mean there would be more runs we would not consider attempting - rather than actual sq m of snow to ride.)

bushpig 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I love Niseko too, but it doesn't scare me, and Thursday, you have been there many times and it still scares you?? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Originally Posted By: Fattwins Where? still lots of snow here but Im not allowed to camp now. Off the back. They've opened the Niseko Panorama Line road early this year, so easy to get to Iwaonupuri, Chisenupuri and a couple of roadside gullys. Nothing major. 30 - 60 mins up, 20 turns down. But it's skiing Had a lovely tour around Shinsen Numa (the marsh/wetland) on Sunday morning. Sunny, secluded. Perfect. Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Come on, guys, give Thursday a break! He has clearly stated it's steep from his own point of view. You don't have to take turns pounding him till HE is flat! Link to post Share on other sites
