girl with a beard 0 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am hoping to get somewhere just after New Year. Perhaps somewhere in Nagano. No rush with plans but got a chunk of holidays booked 4th January - 14th. Link to post Share on other sites

ug 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Only thing I am booking will be a week in Nozawa in mid February. I will probably get that done after summer, no rush. Going to be 12th-18th Feb. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Another annoying "don't know yet" post. Going to be October before any plans get planned. Link to post Share on other sites
nutjob 0 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thinking about getting to Japan for the first time in winter. No firm plans yet. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Mine is less a 'don't know yet' post and more of a 'oh pooh, bugger, bollocks! I won't be going' post! I have some serious work commitments that mean I won't be likely to be able to extricate myself from Perth from Dec - April. Grrrr!!! I had plans for a Honshu roadie with Panhead Pete! IF I can sneak a window of opportunity I will do my best to duck over, even if only for a few days. Cub#2 is hoping to do the season in Niseko. Cub#4 is heading to either Shiga or Myoko Kogen in mid Feb doing some training with his team ahead of heading to Ufa, Russia, for the International Children's Winter Games. Papabear will be accompanying him. Devo I will miss out on that trip!! Shiga Kogen is definitely on my bucket list. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Bummer MB missing a Japow winter though I seem recall a similar story last year and you still managed to get over. More delegation needed at work!! Though I guess with MB away with #4 it might be harder. That cub must be so excited to be heading to an exaotic place like Russia, not to mention PB BTW where is Panhead Pete - have not heard from him for ages. I think his folks live over here somewhere near me. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Pete's in tropical QLD these days, but planning a big Japow tour Jan/Feb 2013. Lots of little skijo's - I would have dearly loved to join in on that. Off the beaten track so to speak. PB would have loved it also. He gets bored with same same all the time. Little Cub is rather excited yes, but it's the whole staying in the 'athletes village' hitting on the 14yr old Swiss chicks he is most excited about. PB was in Moscow recently on a water polo trip, but is keen to visit the ski areas - he has already made friends with a guy in Russia who owns a chalet in Sochi that we have been promised to use the year AFTER the Olympics (quiet, yet new infrastructure), and will be back there in July 2013 with #2 for Polo...maybe he should get a frequent flyer visa for Russia!! Sadly delegation will not save the day this time. Buck stops with me. It is a short term contract though. Someone's gotta stay behind and earn the cashola to bankroll the kids . This time it is me. However you are right...where there is a way I shall find it and be on a plane Tokyo bound. As we get closer to the time I may find a week that I can escape, and if #2 is in Niseko then I wouldn't even mind going solo. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I will have my details a few days before I go or thereabouts. Definitely want to get some in before the end of the year though this time. Link to post Share on other sites
alexeiw123 2 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 all booked! Niseko from the 19th -29th of January '13. Staying at The Vale. To say I'm excited is an understatement, it's been 4 years since I'd skiied Japan (which was Hakuba) Link to post Share on other sites
