hellyer 216 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 OK, I have began to cruise through previous threads and started to gather details on who's going where for the 2012/13 season. I figure it would be easier for folks to hook up with other SJ'ers (if they want to) if the details were all in one place. Thank you to previous thread starters and to a poster on another forum whose layout I have shamelessly copied & modified (thanks Smitty) The list below is taken from all responses last season This list is just the start so please feel free to add names, dates, edit or change your details by posting on this thread and I will endeavour to keep it updated regularly.

I think late Jan is better than early Jan alot less bamboo/sasa and it's cheaper. seemore Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 byebye niigata i think... sorry niigata faithful. Love your kagura/naeba but i's back off to nagano (job notwithstanding a'course). Im top of the list and just have a couple more hurdles (meet in person and assuming they feel good about me, meet the boe) to get over and i might be living 3km from a skijo in south nagano in the suwa area. Super handy given that my best mate who i ride with is between nagoya/gifu and needs to pass through me to get to the nagano yamas. It also means that unlike every other season, hakuba might be my main weekend option (which im actually looking forward to - i miss the hakuba alps backpakers/tracks dudes). But thats for the weekends and when i can get other people to come out, most of the time ill just be cruising my LOCAL ski-jo. (i wont drop the name because i dont want to jinx it to be honest).
