zwelgen 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I guess that beer isnt that much more expensive than other beverges on the slopes here? Someone I used to ride with always had a beer at lunch and they reckoned they had carbohydrates in it so keeps you going . I certianly used to feel good after lunch Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Not anymore. I used to, but it just ruined the afternoon - it had all sorts of painful consequences. Everything in due season. They have a 1 hr 500 yen nomihodai in one of the restaurants at Nozawa. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. How the hell does that square with the 'Alpine Code'? Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Author Share Posted February 6, 2003 where's that nomihodai?? would be fun to hit before going home. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 If you drop down that great powder heap to the left of the gondola mid-station there's a restaurant. In there, I believe. I don't know what time the offer's on though. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I tend to steer clear of alcohol while i'm boarding. Safer for everyone i think! Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Beer at lunch is a must! Always! and then on the slopes after lunch, and then on the way home, and then....well, you get the picture. The slopes are usually uncrowded after lunch anyway. Everyone else is drunk, so you might as well join the party! Actually, I always get drunk on accident. I love watching the automatic beer machines pour a perfect mug of beer with a perfect head. After watching 10 or 12 times, I usually have trouble finding my skis. Last time I did this I had one Rossi 169cm and one Volkl 190cm. That was interesting! Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Beer at lunch is fine... if it's the start of a long night! otherwise, I just find meself tired and grumpy by mid afternoon... Link to post Share on other sites

Nice cold brewskis make you do 920's from time to time :-) I guess I better start drinking more so I'll be able to knock those mothers out then!! Rip em' if you got em!!

Fattwins 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Im with Ocean, had one too many head slams after drinking even one beer. I dont drink till my riding ends. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 920s huh Ripper? So thats twenty degrees past 2 1/2 rotations. Might want to stick to the 900s. But on the subject I agree completely with Miteyak. Link to post Share on other sites

Crap! the beer is leaking! The beer is leaking! Thank God/Buddah/Neptune/Alah/et.al there is a beer machine down below. can't let that tree get away with that stuff. Angry Man - you're mine!

Plucky 0 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I wish SF - just another tough day at the office. My second job is coordinating ski trips for 125 members of the 'Mogul Masher' ski club here. I tend to get a bit loopy after a full day of 'real' work and then doing club stuff all night. I hope nobody on here takes me too seriously - I'm usually multitasking between doing input on an access database, returning the 20 or so emails I get, and trying to post on here. I really would love to contribute some maps and reviews to this site but it's going to have to wait until this Summer. I just finished a great map of the Tohoku ski areas for base morale purposes (um, yeah) that I would love to submit. I'd love to do it for all of Japan. I just don't have the free time to do it right now. As I type, I'm waiting for the damn roster for tomorrows trip to print out. Sorry man, I just try to have fun on here without offending anyone too bad. I could use some more wine though. 4:30Am is getting close, however, and I have to lead a group on Hakkoda tomorrow. Luckily, they are all friends, so this will be a really easy trip. Link to post Share on other sites

You dont offend me mate. You actually remind me of a good mate. Are you a rec coordinator on the base there or something? Best of both worlds eh, I used to loooooooove going down to Yokosuka for a "weekend in America". You and Ripper sound big time military at times I think Link to post Share on other sites
