milo 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 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! Link to post Share on other sites

Really? where is that Thursday? I haven't been able to find a shop that sells any decent gear in HK. HK is permanently in the off season so far as snow sports is concerned.
