Go Native 70 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Being able to live and work in the Niseko area is basically my dream come true! Just need to get my permanent residency now so that I don't actually have to be sponsored by a company to continue living here. Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Agree, Mitch - you should try the local dream first! Our "local" ski-jo is at least 9hours drive away! Not something I could do for a weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 ....and I can't drive to any...there is always someone out there further away from the dream. Enjoy what you have got, and make moves to get closer if you really want it. Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy what you have got, and make moves to get closer if you really want it. Believe me, I do not take for granted one bit of what I have here. Mountains are amazing, good city to live in, getting snow finally, good friends etc etc. I just want to experience something new. I am a ramblin man, can't sit me still in one place for too long. I have skied everything there is to ski in Litte/big cottonwood, Millcreek, Parley's, Park City, Uintas, everything. I can't wait to visit Niseko and get a cultural view of Japan. That is the whole reason, and there are some great SJ'ers that I hope will be willing to ski with me and show me some of the night life COmment about Japanese girls: we have cougars here in Park City which is an even better definition of attraction.

mitchpee 10 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Got my daily fix today. Almost a meter at the bird and another meter and a half by Tuesday. If you could see my face you would see a huge smile. It's really heavy snow and was about a 2 hour delay to open, but it's snow at last! While people were waiting in line we had about a 130 person snowball fight. Can't wait to get out tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

mitchpee 10 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Oh I did...the camera died before we took any shots of cliffs or anything. Plus we were just having too much fun. Waiting in line for first chair... Yup that's first chair at snowbird. All in all a great day. Got first tracks at some point in every run and dropped around 30 different cliffs, tree wells, etc. Now if this just keeps up that will be awesome. Should have more updates tomorrow.
