Real excited about this one Don't forget that they're looking for 36 months of instructing experience, not 3 years/winters of instructing. In most countries that's between 8-9 seasons of instructing.

bluefishy 0 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Good point. I'm way off that though. Plans for next winter are just to get out as much as possible. Hopefully a week somewhere then lots of weekends and hopefully a few mid-week sessions. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 My cousin is visting from Jan 30th for 2 weeks, he wants to do snowboarding, so I'm toying with the idea of another Hokkaido trip at that time or just a couple of short Honshu trips....hmmmm options, options Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I did Niseko from Tokyo twice this Jan-Feb, I suppose I'll be lucky to do it more than once this coming season, but I'm thinking of doing a whole week there. Previously we were leaving Tokyo early-mid week, but I think there's no point. Will spend some extra cash and go up there from a weekend to a weekend. Also, gotta get to Zao this season - any recs for the best place to stay when I do that. The best way to make myself go is to book something early with friends who are as keen as I am...

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yeah SDS thats what works for me too. If we stand around talkng about it, I never end up going, usually because I haven't put the money away to do it, but if I book it early then I'll pay it up and be ready for when it comes around Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yeah, paid the deposit now and looking forward to it. Last time kid just wanted to play in the snow and didn't want to ski, eventhough his instructor was HOT!!! Even my wife said she was a very pretty girl. (really? I hadn't noticed).
