one of the others

Well it would seem that the others do care, well at least one of the others. I’m luke and I’m  from Glenorchy and have been working up Coronet for a few seasons patroling along with Pete the other guy who’s apparently coming to japan and Toshi. this trip has been a few years in the making and finally it looks like its going to happen thanks to Toshi who knows how to get out of Tokyo airport and get us very lost in the process. The ticket’s are cheaper if you are under 26 which the other two old men aren’t so well travel in style with Air New Zealand and hopefully drink the difference between the two flights because there has got to be flip side of traveling with a more expensive airline. Heres to skiing blower pow in a few months

Summary of this blog

So I, and a few others as well hopefully, set up this blog for a reson, and that is to show you how we plan a ski trip to Japan in Feb, 09′. And along the way we want to disclose whatever we find out about anything we need and want to know about anything about the place we are heading to.

I reckon you can break down into these, “who?”, “where?”, “what?” and “how?”

Who are going? – Me(Japakiwi) plus 3 kiwis (as far as we know so far)

Where are we going? – Tokyo(my home away from home) and then Hakuba in Nagano Prefecture in Central Japan.

What are we doing? – POW! skiing

How long? – 3-4weeks around Feb.

How much is it going to cost? – That’s a very good question and we will find out from now on.

These are the key points at the first stage of organising a trip. So we will slowly start out investigating each of the points above, hopefully, with a lot of help from other authors…

So what is this all about?

Nowadays you must have heard of legendary powder if you like any of the winter sports. You must have read an article in a paper, magazine or through your mates who already have been there. It’s been a hidden secret until, say, 5 years ago then the word on the streets down under has spread out throughly and now everyone’s talking about it. So, why not, go check it out.

Still there are so many things that we don’t know. Thought it is a bloody good idea to record and leave in this blog, all the things we go through when planning a ski trip to Japan. There may be an useful information for you if you are thinking likewise…
