That's still quite a drive from Phoenix. I think Snow Bowl up by Flagstaff is closer than the White's (down by Tuscon area I believe). Also, what do you mean summers aren't hot??? Highs in the low 120's for a good many days And don't tell me that it is just a dry heat either! I've spent some time in the area. It is beautiful once you get into northern AZ (Sedona, Flagstaff - haven't been down south) but I just don't think I'd like to live in Phoenix. Too big and too hot and way too many old people!

RayInJapan 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I would love to try New Zealand, or Australia...had plenty of chances to live in Europe by I'm a Pacific Rim kinda guy...so I guess even Alaska wouldn't be a bad deal if it was temporary... Link to post Share on other sites
crazyski 0 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 My friend in Alaska just wrote saying it was -50 degrees C where he lives in Fairbanks. Brr.. I wonder how many times "samui" would be said if that was Japan? My eventual plan is to head south to NZ (hopefully for good). The snow is a bit heavier than here, but here's plenty to be skiied. I just gotta go back to the states and finish (and start for that matter) school. Link to post Share on other sites

RayInJapan 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Funny how things work out - just found out I'll be going to a denwa conference in Alaska the 3rd week in April. I've never been there, never even flown over it - can't wait...now I gotta find out if they snowboard up there... Ask and ye shall receive... Link to post Share on other sites
