pie-eater 207 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 In August?! That's just messed up! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 No ... not August. Christmas in July is big. And funnily enough I actually have Santa in my chimney right now. One of the kids had a mate over who is a little special, and he was checking every little nook and cranny of the lounge room out, and when he opened the chain curtains on the fireplace he squealled with delight "Oh my goodness, Michelle, you have Santa Claus in your chimney" Whoops....looks like I forgot to pack Santa away in my hurry to get over to Japan last December.

pie-eater 207 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hmmm. I am very confused now. Actually I think I am destined to be confused about things in general today. (See customer service thread in Off Topic) Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Not sure no plans yet, but would like to go to Myoko again. Also Niseko, maybe Hakuba, Zao, of course my local resorts, but no idea yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hoping to check out some more new places: Alts Bandai Adatara Kougen Zao Gassan Some of the Aizu areas Would be nice to get a bit further afield, as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Really depends on what happens this summer. It looks like I'll be heading back to Indonesia for a month or so... I'll have to consult my wallet when I get back. I'm hoping to get to Hokkaido again. Thinking about driving up there so I can hit up a few different resorts. Then the usual weekend warrior stuff in Myoko, Hakuba, and Shiga Kogen... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 How long would that drive take BM? A long drive into Tohoku sounds like a good idea to me though not sure if I can pull that one off. Link to post Share on other sites
yellownut 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have two week-long chunks of holiday I can take. I am right now thinking about where I might want to spend those. No rush. I enjoy the thinking and pretend planning. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm hoping to get out and about further afield more this time round. I stayed put too much this last season, though with Nozzles, Shiga Kogen nearby it's not a bad place to be. Need to make more of an effort. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm going to be spending a week in Myoko. And perhaps 5-6 days in Shiga Kogen. Not fixed up yet but there's no rush, will sort the details out later in fall. Other than that, days around here I reckon and then anything else I can get out of the season.

Go Native 70 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ok looking like I will definitely still be here for at least next winter. I'd like to explore more backcountry peaks so want to head up to Asahidake, Kurodake, Tokachidake and would love to do a trip up to Rishiri Island and climb the peak there. As far as resorts go I'd like to try Sapporo kokusai and Tomamu. Link to post Share on other sites
