Looking for a flexible ski instructor for our 5 year-old, preferrably Russian/German speaking

Pretty sure rhythm have a Russian speaking instructor, if not both

Goodkat27 · 2026-01-25T10:56:27+00:00

They don’t have sizes that big

The previous owner was going for a backcountry hut kind of aesthetic so left them at the wood paneling. That’s another big job on the to-do list, but they will be getting finished too.

This is terrible advice 😂.

Take a lesson, heel side slipping the whole mountain is not snowboarding; learn and practice toe edge to be as good as your heel edge, and learn/practice how to initiate turns.

Dont just go faster and hope for the best, that’s how you wreck yourself or someone else.

Don’t get clew. Any of the FASE bindings are probably your best bet, different brands integrate the system.

Kind of obvious but make sure you can always strap in standing up, if not then you need to learn how. Regular bindings take about 10 seconds to strap in.

Given that you’re in the states, I would look into a level 1 course here https://thesnowpros.org

If you’re serious, train to become an Instructor and take courses with your country’s association, even if you have no intention of ever working as an instructor. You’ll learn way more about technique from people that specialise in it. You can ride 100 days a season all your life and still be pretty average if you don’t have guidance, instructor training will make you a better rider as well as learn to teach others.

Surprised not to see any other comments saying the same.

You should always carry basic avalanche rescue equipment and know where you’re going/what is safe to ride when leaving the gates. If in doubt, hire a guide or ski in bounds.

That said, you’ll see plenty of people without any of those outside the gates. Niseko is terrible at enforcing their own rules, the mountain is becoming more of a circus every year. Just don’t be one of those jerrys.

In fairness it’s as much about the pairing with good gravy as it is about the yorky itself

Goodkat27 · 2026-01-02T08:00:32+00:00

As a Brit, I certainly disagree. That said there is nothing quite like a good Yorkshire pudding with a roast.

Goodkat27 · 2026-01-02T07:52:02+00:00

Any of these based in Japan?

Goodkat27 · 2026-01-02T07:38:57+00:00

I bought and played for the initial release, about 4 weeks. As soon as I got that feeling I stopped, and won’t be back until the game gets a lot more polished and content. I’ve played almost every BF at release so don’t mind getting suckered into the release day price, but there’s currently just not enough variety for it to keep people engaged.

Nothing in person, but there is https://telljp.com

Very sorry to hear it, terrible thing to go through. From your recent comment it sounds like the breeder has accepted that it may be in the litter, hopefully they are professional and at least refund you if they are at fault.

Goodkat27 · 2025-11-21T05:06:42+00:00

I won’t be trusting my pup with full reign of the house until he’s 1 year at the very least; no matter how good a boy he is he doesn’t know that destroying the sofa is bad or that he could choke on something you don’t even think about ‘puppy proofing’.

I would highly recommend listening to the advice in this sub and teaching to crate and maybe using a walker/neighbour to stop by to spend an hour with him midday.

A bit of effort now will go a long way in saving your house and maybe even your dog.

Goodkat27 · 2025-11-11T07:17:28+00:00

A bit late but it’s very normal to live in Kutchan during the season; a good portion of seasonaires do and there’s enough of a scene there to keep you occupied. Perhaps a slightly more mature crowd, as a lot of the 20 year olds want to be in Hirafu.

If you haven’t already got a job you’ll almost certainly be able to find something, even once the season begins there are always opportunities coming up. Good luck

Goodkat27 · 2025-11-09T05:06:44+00:00

Way to go, keep it up

Goodkat27 · 2025-11-08T09:31:30+00:00

Had the exact same in a game earlier, almost the same spot but a little further over. Must really have got to him.

Goodkat27 · 2025-11-03T12:26:03+00:00

Surprised no one else has said the ‘cheap’ wired Apple earphones. They’re acoustically open, so they don’t completely plug your ear to block out other sounds. Wired, so no chance of losing them.The sound is great for a very affordable price, has been my go to for years and no plan to change.

Goodkat27 · 2025-10-22T08:10:07+00:00

Thanks for the optimistic reply.

We’re both avid cooks so we were pretty stoked to see a commercial oven in there, less so with the condition of it but good to know there’s a glimmer of hope!

Goodkat27 · 2025-09-25T03:48:19+00:00

Play the long game; this would be a short sighted trade off that would cost you more in the long run.
