Mick Rich 78 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Went up there yesterday morning (for the last time this season) and the top double chairlift area in the Furano Zone was absolutely brilliant, as it had been closed for a few days due to the ski racing. Took turns with RedLotus and Kokodoko to carve fresh lines in the 4 days' worth of untouched powder in the trees - sweet!! As today's my last day in Furano, I'm feeling nostalgic for the place and a little guilty that I only gave it a 4 out of 5 rating in my review. Perhaps I'll have to rectify that next year!

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Have you been able to get a bit of a feel for the place koko? Seems like you have been there forever. Big question though......... did you get to the cheese factory? Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 though i reckon youre probably the last one left, i hope you had someone to wave at you like an eejit for ten minutes while you got on the bus Link to post Share on other sites

I even got a gold medal from Yuki-chan. Now in kyoto. its weird in the big smoke after being in the boondocks of hokkaido for so long. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Eejit = idiot, but said in a friendly way? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 "eejit" scots slang for "idiot" and as Koko says kinda said in a friendly way Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 hehe, when i got on the bus to leave furano i had one nutjob waving at me for ten minutes because (to loosely attribute the gist), "its funny creating a scene and having everyone else on the bus thinking you might be waving at them". Take a bow ya big eejit. You lasted longer without snow than many people on the equator, but somehow you did it. I kid! i kid! sorry furano lovers Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Who is a nutjob? oh, yeah, me. Heading for nara today. Link to post Share on other sites
