If someone could add me to the list, I have booked 13/14/15 Feb in Gifu.
We are staying near the Hida Interchange (I think that's what it is called) & have the choice of boarding at Dynaland/Takasu/Gujo Kogan/Shitatori Kogan/Washigataki/White Pia Takasu/Winghills Shirotori and I think another small ski-jo all within about a half hour drive.
Choices, choices...

You're in Japan on Saturday. Do you...
A) go shopping with your girlfriend; or
B) dump gf and have epic pow day.
Great untracked lines at Tsugaike today. Snowing nicely in Echoland now, it's just the beginning it's going to be awesome.

Added some Niseko Undies. We'll be staying at Niseko Village if anyone else is there. Otherwise I'll be naked on top of various Hirafu bars by night.Last edited by a moderator:FFFFFUUUUUU!
"due to "Engineering Requirements" your flight (6.10am) has been cancelled" (melb to Gold Coast)
Dunno what my chances were of getting to Gold Coast for the Narita flight was with all this weather anyway!
Anyone else know what Jetstar arrangements will be made or the best way I should go around it? I'm guessing Jetstar wont be making alternative arrangements to make the 10:50am Narita flight?Ok crises averted, jetstar put me on the Melb-Cains 6am flight, then flight Cains to Narita works out well except can't meet my mate at Gold Coast... but I'm sure he will manage on the flight on his own.
So any one leaving tomorrow from Melb, check your flight status, so you get in before everyone else organises alternative flights
Without thinking took the wrong turn to work today and began driving towards the airport, got about 5mins down the road before I realised. I think I need to go back to Japan.
Just got the following as part of a Peach Airlines newsletter.
Might be useful for some punters who look for a quick ski trip. Pity they couldn't do a slightly longer deal.

Hi all, we're heading from Hakuba to Myoko tomorrow
With the snow (inbounds) in such poor condition we're looking for some sightseeing options in between i.e. Nagano City (have been to Zenko-ji)
We will be busing it to Nagano then train to Myoko
Any suggestions much appreciated
D'oh, editing this - you've done Zenkoji.
Matsushiro Tunnels (one I've never done but will one day!)
http://www.go-nagano.net/blog/?p=3572
Matsumoto Castle - probably easiest choice

The snow monkeys are also doable but more time consuming

You'll need to change at Shinano-Omachi, trip from Hakuba to there is just under 40mins then the next section is around an hour. Get the 7:46 train from Hakuba, it's got a good connection time through Omachi then Matsumoto. All up you should take under 2 hours to get there.Last edited by a moderator:
What ever happened to that dude that wanted to push the envelope by leaving noz via taxi at 2am to catch a flight out of Narita?
M_G said:
Hai, but then that's almost half the day gone. I was thinking if he wanted to get a whole day in the 7:46 is a better option. But it does show if you dont get the 7:46 you're waiting a while for the next decent changeover.Last edited by a moderator:

That isnt 'too' bad. I think I waited 40mins at Omachi on the way back, there isnt much going on at that station that's for sure.Last edited by a moderator:
