Barring injury, sickness, wars or pandemics we’re heading to Japan at the end of January. Targets are Madarao, Myoko, Ryuoo and all the different sectors of Shiga Kogen. Then we’re in and out of Milan in late March/early April. No hard plan on which direction to drive but I will have...

All inclusive about $1000usd. Food, lodging, lift tickets, instruction. Dorm type set up for youngsters.

My daughter has just finished her university course and is floating about just doing her part time hospitality work until next year. I’ve just offered to send her to Val D’Isere for an all inclusive week with UCPA starting 29/11...

Crikey. That’s grim. Even though I have no intention of going anywhere near North America for skiing this winter I’ll make a point of keeping an eye on progress. I’m backing Grand Targhee will be 100% open when the fat man comes.

This crowd are extremely highly regarded for central Hokkaido guiding. https://yukiumihouse.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22985681262&gbraid=0AAAAA-JKTrtTE5YxV8KeNzSyqDRbRxgrD&gclid=CjwKCAiAlfvIBhA6EiwAcErpyXwwlDVWyhFyfDTHAHHldimnV06fHzMRe3joXniEZNz5zk-v5FtwnRoCatoQAvD_BwE

And due to higher elevation no rain unlike the other areas. Even when staying in the valley that will be the option if we get a very common mid winter warm up. Drier snow up there too.

I’m the same. Long haul is no great chore. I usually get between 7 and 9 hours sleep.

Very sadly the opportunities for the kids to ski with us are now really limited due to their relatively new found work schedules. We have many great memories in the bank but I hope we can still get the stars to align in the future.

I’ve ripped this off the Aussie ski forum - “Storms" (low pressure troughs and cold fronts) are not really what determines normal heavy snowfalls, particularly in central Japan and northern Honshu. The key is high pressure over eastern Siberia (around Lake Baikal / Mongolia), with a ridge of...

Marc helped me greatly. I’m posting from my phone now.

We won’t go to Habuka in an endeavour to avoid the swathes of my fellow countrymen. We’ll stay in the valley somewhere around Nakano/Yudanaka. From there Nozawa Onsen, Madarao, Myoko are within striking distance. We’ll then stay on snow at Japan’s biggest and highest linked ski resort Shiga...

I am catching a train from Narita to Tokyo city (Ueno specifically) for a few tourist days in late January before going to the hills around Nagano. The car rental company Miki Car Rentals who are based in Narita are delivering me a car on the required day to my hotel for a fee of 5000yen (about...

I am auto logged in on my work pc. My phone is usually auto logged in but for some reason it's logged out. I've tried my usual suspect passwords but I can't seem to get in.

@Tony Crocker @jamesdeluxe and other management heavyweights on here. This could be your chance to get rid of the gaper Australian. For some reason my phone has logged me out of First Tracks. I can't remember my password and I can't use the 'forgot password' thing because the email I used to...

I believe a non stop train ride is possible. In fact I think I got one the first time I went to the Tarantaise. I wouldn't choose for stops to save a few bucks so it must have been the timing was not optimal.

Yes. Gear goes on the lower level of the bus.

Is this Epstein situation getting stickier for DJT? The media I'm seeing is suggesting it is. Do Americans really care about that stuff? MTG seems like a dead set nutter to me but it isn't a good look for Don to have a team mate going against him.
