I'm totally not organised with no firm plans. thanks!!! actually, Appi Kogen, Furano, Shiga-Kogen, and the two Happo-One trips have already been reserved and confirmed... while Nozawa has a reservation with right to cancel... it is just that except for the Appi Kogen and the Happo-One trip in February; im usually alone. and so - if i dont make a booking early, it is really difficult to get a reservation for only ONE person. i just wish that i have more friends interested in skiing - so i can always have them tag along... *sigh* and *hoping* Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Good on you mate. I wish I was as well planned. I'm hopeless at that kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The extent of my planning so far sees me buying some new socks. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 WantToSki - that seems like boasting at first. Then I realise...I'm going where the conditions are best at the time, not where I can book the hotels months in advance.... Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Don't worry about it WantToSki. We are still (still!) putting our plans together from here in the UK. Being able to plan is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm lucky I have about 10 decent places within 30 minutes drive of where I live. I'll plan when the snow falls, keep an eye on the local weather news and look outside the window early morning Link to post Share on other sites

moloneb3 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 WantToSki I am in the same boat regarding not having people to go with! I am planning loads of trips so I would like to join you if that would be alright! I am in the same boat, most of my friends teach English and so on the weekends they are not free. email me at moloneb3@mail.dcu.ie and let me know your schedule, I will try match up my non-existant one with yours!!!!

Do you drive or taking the train/bus ? since im on a budget (and mostly since most trains cant get to the good resorts) - i take the night buses from shinjuku (through ski tour packages from agencies like Travel Inn)... of course i dont mind - the more the merrier...!!!
