Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 >I just love this place. And unlike most of the winter punters I get to see it during the quiet times like in mid October when the whole region is ablaze with autumnal colour. And I get to see most of the festivals through the rest of the year and take part in the local culture. Yep we have a few crazy months over winter but the rest of the year it's just another perfect little corner of rural Japan. Nice GN, refreshing to see a good attitude like that. Sure you will have a nice time up there. Ill make it up at some point - I do wanna have some of that magical niseko powder again and see my old coworkers too. Link to post Share on other sites

So, it's ok to generalize about older males That was an observation of the older male tour groups I saw. A generalisation would be "older male tour groups suck" Link to post Share on other sites
rigor mortis 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 ive just come back from 4 days at Niseko. some of the best boarding ive had. didnt find it too flat. some great tree runs. unfortunately 1 downside was fresh tracks were hard to find. Its no exageration about the Ozzies there, but i had no problems aside from the few checking out my girlfriend, but hey i was checking out most of the chicks there too! ironically i was kept up 1 night by raucous japanese dudes. Infact, i found it quite refreshing to have a smile and a chat on the gondolas and in the onsens. The snow quality was obviously mint, and in a hotel brochure i recieved it said each snow flake contains 7% water. what im wondering is, how does the snow quality rate on a world scale. someone told me it was 2nd only to Alaska. Anyone got any facts or personal opinions? only other country ive boarded in is NZ, and the snow dosent even compare. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Fatties is being managed by a bloody Kiwi these days! He's name is Nick and he's a great guy. I actually bought my car off him. Hachi and Chie are usually behind the bar and I will be there tonight taking advantage of the nomi hodai deal for staff in the village. Just hope I remember getting home this time Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah Nick used to work in hakuba in the winter but switched over to there. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Describing something ..."I didn't find it too flat" ..... doesn't work very well. It would be like your mate saying "c'mon guys, she wasn't that fat" Whish means, he shagged a porker and knows it. Hey, I have a new Niseko slogan!!! Niseko. Like shagging a fat chick, only flatter Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 > The snow quality was obviously mint Obviously. Because it has been minted, branded, televised and sold as such. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The stupidity of the comments are inversely proportional the frequency of visiting Niseko. It is a natural law and I should be respected for abiding by it. Link to post Share on other sites
rigor mortis 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 you dont think the snow is good at niseko Oceans 11? im just a mere intermediate snowboarder, but even on the groomed slopes the snow was far nicer to ride than anywhere else ive been in niigata or nagano. if all fat chicks are as good a ride as niseko, i will have to start altering my standards.

Ocean11 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've never been to Niseko, but I'm sure the snow is lovely. But I actually don't like really fly away powder, preferring something that doesn't fly up in my face, and that only has my tracks on it. I'm just amused by the packaging of Nissikoe, that's all. Don't mind me. Link to post Share on other sites
rigor mortis 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i suggest you give a 'fat chick' try Link to post Share on other sites
fatchick 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm a fairly fat chick (honestly) - been lurking a while and thinking of a handle and this seemed as good as any. I like Niseko as well as other areas, was there at the beginning of January. Prefer the choice in Nagano though. Link to post Share on other sites
