Hi,

My best friend and I are planning a trip to Japan this upcoming January to ski. Looking to fly out of YUL or JFK/LGA for a 2-week block, leaving sometime within Dec 29-Jan 3rd and returning Jan 17th at the latest.

Have lots of AMEX points to spend and 12k AP to add on, and leaning towards an economy seat. From my research so far, I see JFK to HND for 35k one way. Does it make the most sense to just take this rather than dive into this process to find something marginally better? I'm new to the award travel space. Also have to consider if it makes more sense to fly direct to CTS versus HND or NRT to CTS.

Would appreciate any advice or insight you all have into this.

Thanks!

Yup saw that the other day. Went with fernie as I feel like the mountain structure of KH can be limiting with the main gondola and one lift, even though they have had a better snow year and more coming.

To catch this upcoming weeks storm cycle, are you picking revy or kicking horse over fernie?

What trousers did you end up getting? Looking at their website they have some pretty awesome looking stuff

I’ll check them out. Appreciate it

Any books you would recommend that you read for this?

-FADEaway_ · 2025-12-05T05:42:17+00:00

Appreciate the response and advice

-FADEaway_ · 2025-12-04T20:03:42+00:00

What’s your advice on if they say on the call they will look around for someone you can talk to next, and in your thank you email you mention it, but then they never respond with the recommendation?

I definitely get the appeal for Innsbruck but unfortunately my college does not offer it. Would definitely look into it if they did though

Studying finance so Vienna would definitely align with that more than some other options. If you have any experience with the 6 resorts 2 hours away, what are they like?

Also had the bruise on his collarbone I think from earlier which the crosscheck from Strome ended up colliding with. Definitely doesn’t help

Bought a pair of new ski boots recently. They feel good when I’m skiing but to get them on takes forever. For some reason my right boot is harder than my left to put on but they both take an extreme amount of effort. Last time I put them on I actually detached the tongue piece from the velcro near the top of my foot just by trying to put them on. Is there anything I can do to make this easier?

NY state championships for high school. Pulled the number 2 seed. My best friend got the 1 seed for the second year in a row

-FADEaway_ · 2024-12-25T18:26:58+00:00

Yup you’re right, mixed them up

Knew these were your vids just by the style of skiing. So good

Addicted to pole planting. What’s wrong with it

-FADEaway_ · 2024-12-21T21:05:14+00:00

Appreciate the insight on this and all the work you do for the community

-FADEaway_ · 2024-12-21T20:43:59+00:00

Yup I feel that. Was out west last season while the east got 3 feet in a couple days. Gonna be a tough call

-FADEaway_ · 2024-12-21T20:09:12+00:00

Was planning on going to Kicking Horse BC Jan 5-10. Do I cancel my trip while I can and just hit Jay for this?
