RobBright 35 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thought this would be helpful for some of those trying to buy new gear in Japan. Whilst not the biggest snow wear festival in the world, there are some bargains to be had. With permission from the SJ-guys, here is the link. I won't post links to all the events around the country, but it's kind of a travelling market, going around Japan at different weekends, who knows, maybe one near you. Personally, am going to the Yokohama event at the Pan-pacific at the end of November. http://www.winterspo...jp/index02.html Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Good post Man in Japan. I went to the one in Nagano a few years ago, you can pick up some good bargains as well as discounted lift tickets. Link to post Share on other sites

norcal 5 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I went to the one in Saitama last weekend, some decent deals. Just got some gloves/face masks, didn't find any pants I wanted though. Would like to check out the Yokohama one (even though it's probably the same stuff) but I'm on call this weekend Anyway not a bad thing to check out if it's in your area.

Mick Rich 78 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Sweet Licious!?!? May well have to check this (them) out! I think they're on at 1 o'clock! Edited November 25, 2011 by Mick Rich Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 So I made it down to the Snow Festa at the Pacifico in Yokohama yesterday and this was the best thing! I thought I saw M-i-J forcing his way through to the front of the 20-strong crowd but I was hiding behind my sunglasses so couldn't be sure! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Haha, I did go down there but wasn't that impressed with the stuff on offer, just seemed to be either tiny or small size by that point. The half price lift-tickets were a good idea; however, I didn't pick anything up in the end, as I haven't decided where to go yet this season. Was nice to get out down to Sakuragicho though.
