best skier in hakuba 5 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Choices heavily weighted to people who can get out a lot I see!!! Like me I suppose. haha. I will be upset if I don't put the gear on 50 times. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 there is no chance I can get more than 10. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Aiming for 20! Link to post Share on other sites
JuniorStubbs 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 kinda have an unfair advantage here, and i'm off to Canada in april and may to sit more exams, looking for 140 for the season. did 117 in Banff last year, and three days at a tiny local hill in wisconsin.

hipsterandjane 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Last year was a new record at 65 (all but 7 on fresh snow) in the interior of BC. This year I am hoping that 20 isn't too optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 hipster, do you have a car? If so, Mizuho is only bout an hour halfish and the same with Geihoku. If you are a JET and get to know the Geihoku jet you might be able to find a place to crash, or even free tickets. The Geihoku jet used to get free ski passes to Kokusai (forget what its been renamed to). I like Mizuho the best just cuz of access, some decent longer runs, and a park to play in (albeit quite small). If ya got a car you can go anywhere - Daisen is roughly 3.5 hours. If youre a skier only (at least it used to be skier only) Osorakan has the best quality snow in the region. Link to post Share on other sites

Amos in Utsunomia 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 It amused me to just realise that I will be much closer to 150 minutes than I will be to 150 days. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 10-15 is a good target to aim for, last year I made it up 10 times, this year my bro will actually have money in the winter (god damn you NOVA!!) so I'll have a travelling buddy and might be able to make it up more often Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 At least 30. I will be chuffed to pieces if I can stretch that to 50. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry, but it's the wrong question. There's a world of difference between how many days I want to get out this season, and how many days I'll be able to. Aiming for 15, at least 4 of which will be in Niseko.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I said 16-20 ... would LOVE it to be every day! But alas that is not possible. :-( I have 14 days in Zermatt. Hope to be on the snow every single one of them. And then I still have my hopes up for Papa to give me a week in Hakuba for my 40th in March ... if the dollar keeps heading down it might be 16 - 20 in my dreams and more like 11 - 15 in reality. 2008 gave me 10 days (over 2 trips) in the Southern Hemisphere Winter as well ...so maybe I can get my batting average up there too ... or is that cheating?

-30deg 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Who set up this poll! I am targeting 25 days, but there is no category for me. If you worked for me you'd have your marching orders. Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck Thanks. Hit 140 last winter. Would have got 150 if the snow had lasted into July. It's all about the early start. October and November turns are key. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboarding-sally 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I don't love it that much! I would think I can maybe get about 20-30 times and that sounds just about right for me. Link to post Share on other sites
gambarimasu 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 20 is my target. Gambarimasu!! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 150 means 5days a week for 30 weeks. That sounds alot and IS TOO MUCH for me to even think about. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 With a trip to Switzerland as well, probably somewhere between 20 and 25. Link to post Share on other sites
