HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Why do we have to abbreviate the name of the place? Nis The big N Hakks Thredders Falls argh!! Maybe it is just me. Maybe I am Or maybe I am just jealous it is not me spending the whole season. But I much prefer to hear the resorts actual name. This is second only in resort name irritation when a Japan newbie who cant remember where they are booked in corrects my suggestion of Hakuba with Huuukuuuba. Come to think of it I AM irritable tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

CptSlow 0 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I will be there but not for the season just some weeks, would be cool to meet some of you and be shown around if you were up for it?? Also just did some numbers, do you guys think 290,000YEN for 3weeks is plenty, will be eating out drinking and doing a wee bit of shopping in Tokyo for a few days, everything is paid for thats just spending eating and drinking...

Always looking for people to ski with. My advice is pretty much worthless but from all the calculations I have done it seems that would be plenty to go around on for 3 weeks. Eating, drinking, and skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
