midnightcharger2 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It's that time of the year where many start creeping back into the SJ forums, and itching for some snow pron (as well as cheesemans "cheese of the day" / still around?) Want to welcome all the newcomers as well as seasoned veterans. SJ forums look great with the new sexy logo. If any newcomers are looking for advice on Nagano, I have MANY years of experience in the region. Fire away with any questions. We long-timers here have good knowledge of the area as well as hints and tricks to help save money for those who are travelling on a limited budget. I will also be scouting for new recruits that need rides this year up to the mountain. Most of my previous riding friends Got married, Recently had kids and Dissappeared off the face of the planet. Bummer. If anyone is around the Nagano city area, always happy to lend a hand. This year I am planning on hitting as many different resorts as possible "translation money allows". Looking to get up to somewhere every weekend, as well as use my winter vacation in mid Dec. to make up with Mother nature for not being able to get my fix last year. Hope you all enjoy Japan and all it will have to offer for winter. Cheers, Frank Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hey Frank, I'm planning to spend a few days in Hakuba after Christmas - can't wait! I wonder what this year's cheese of choice will be? Link to post Share on other sites
midnightcharger2 0 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yah, Hakuba is a great spot, The best if you like long days of hitting the slopes and long nights hitting the clubs. Definitely got that on my road map of things to do. Only a few more weeks till we start seeing the winter wonderland show up in these parts Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Frank, I want to organise a couple of weekend trips up to Nagano this season and was wondering if you have any good recommendations for places to stay or resorts to hit up. I am thinking of going to Nozawa and Hakuba (on separate weekends). Do you recommend one place over the other? I will most likely take a bus/hotel/lift package tour as they seem to be the most affordable options. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ash Link to post Share on other sites
