myra 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 6 and this was my firt time ever. I had 2 days at Iwappara in Yuzawa. Then 3 days in the Hakuba area - Tsugaike Kogen and Goryu. And then a day trip up to Naeba. Loved it and can't wait for next season. Link to post Share on other sites
geeski 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have been here in Japan for a long time now but this last season was my least out there. Just managed a 5 day stay in Shiga Kogen and that's it. Good 5 days though. Link to post Share on other sites
yamaski 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I usually have about 25 days in a season but this time cut short as like many people. Got in about 12 before mid-March. Link to post Share on other sites

grandig 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 None. I had a duffed up knee which is now just about ok. Hoping to get out in Aus this season. Then the plan is Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
CherryBoy 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 3 in early March. Just got back to Japan after some years back. Then that lot happened! Link to post Share on other sites
yodel 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 0. Out of japan and not near snow. I'm going to be back though from September and have my eye on a few 5 day trips here and there. Can't wait. So sad to see what has happened in March. Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurel 3 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Being in Aus for this season meant I only got in 7 days at Hakuba. To remedy this sad and sorry situation, I have moved to Hokkaido. 45 mins from Kamui, 1.5 hours from Furano... I should be able to get a few more days on the hill this coming season...

panhead_pete 27 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Austria, China and Japan - estimate 25-30 days total. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Originally Posted By: joshnii Where are you these days then pete? Hi Joshnii. After a challenging year in China I've moved to Brisbane with a new company in April. Would say its so I'm closer to Japan then in WA but having grown up an hour away on the Sunny Coast its nice to be closer to life long friends and my parents. More waves too. Have been really busy settling in, going out, buying an aprtament and working 50-60hrs a week in a moderately stressful role delievering a $10 mill project. I had schediuled a 3 week road trip through Honshu for mid Jan but that got canned by the boss last week as its now a critical time for my project due to schedule slip. Still, I have my health and am working towards a few life goals so cant complain. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi Pete. I am in Switzerland in January - so I have been scheming a way to get my JaPOW fix for maybe March (my birthday is early march). I was thinking of a quick trip to Hakuba Maybe we can catch up for that beer then? March is better than nothing Link to post Share on other sites

ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Laid up with a bad back most of last winter but pulling through now after a mightly zero for 10.11. Lets hope 11.12 will be better... can't be much worse in my case! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Originally Posted By: Hokkaidough When you say "this year"..... weren't some of your trips actually in 2011? That was in response to Pete re: spending money in Aussie ski resorts. I did 3 trips to Thredbo last year - July,August and September. I also did a trip to Niseko in January - and a trip to Hakuba in March - both last year. So total I did 5 for last year, just that 3 of them were in Aus. THIS year I did a week in Hakuba and a week in Niseko in January, and that is all so far. No Aussie trips booked at all yet Link to post Share on other sites
blu 3 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Got to all my favourites in 2011; Rusutsu, Tomamu, Kamui. Also Furano - there's a direct ski bus from Tomamu, which they ran with only two of us onboard. Was a good link to use to get to Asahikawa. Also a day trip to Kurodake. In 2012 it's EU - Switzerland & Austria. Sure going to miss the offpiste powder & trees (may have to do a very late March trip to Niseko). Off to AU resorts next weekend.
