Fattwins 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Quote: Fattwins. I suggest if you haven't been there you have no right to judge what Niseko is like. I assume its jealousy that you see people go to Niseko having fun skiing in lighter drier snow Been there done that. There are many places in the world that claim the best and lightest powder, ive seen my share. Considering that I banter on with beaver about this and it was targeted to get a response from people like me, dont take too much of a cheap shot and get personal. Anyone can make an informed decision and not go and in this case I know enough not to go. My good mate lived there and skied the hardest stuff there. Last year I made him crap himself in Nagano.... My best ski mates have gone and they have told me that I wont like it because its too flat, in fact they wont go back there for that reason... Friends that live in Niseko own snowmobiles, why? Cause they think its too flat without more access. I think I can safely say that I dont want or need to ski flat Ville. I havent bounced on skis since the 90s cause you dont need too. If you bounce its to flat this vid is full of bouncing circa 2006 ouch thats flat http://www.snowjapan.com/e/spotlight/powdertv-monday.htm Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 This is what I like to call the circle of trust. I dont keep anything from you and you dont keep anything from and around and around we go. So, Focker, do you have anything you'd like to tell me? Focker: ummmmmm, Niseko is flat Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Meet the Parents. Ive just been saying for over a year that the entire Niseko debate has been going around in circles for a long time. Everybody knows its a great resort and has epic powder. The topic keeps going around in circles. Hence my above comment of another circle....leading into the circle of trust from MTP. I think some peeps have been puffing the magic dragon if they think Niseko is steep Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 > I assume its jealousy that you see people go to Niseko having fun skiing in lighter drier snow That's funny. Like Fattwins I often lash out on forums when I feel jealous about something. Those bastards up in Niseko having more fun than me! Link to post Share on other sites
