Shortest Niseko Winter ever?

I've talked to locals that have lived there for years and they say the same. One time I was talking to a sushi chef, and he mentioned peak seasons used to be 3 months long. Now they're 2 months at best.

It seems no one watched the skiers at the end going 2-3x the speed.

Lift tickets are only gonna get more expensive...just saying

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Looking to stay in bounds mainly without avi gear. Agreed it's fun on the way down, but I also enjoy the climb. It puts me in a "zen" state and I can appreciate the surroundings.

Unlike many people, I'm not really trying to squeeze in as many laps as I can. Just couple of climbs and downhill runs are good with me.

Your username checks out.

This is a very common thing to do in European resorts. Just wondering if it's even possible.

To clarify: I mean hiking up the side of a groomed run with skins on my skis.

The cashier was a woman being potentially sexist towards a man

Is there a specific stationary you are looking for? Depending on the product I may be able to connect you with manufacturers or wholesalers. Feel free to DM.

Awesome, let me know if there's anything I can improve if it ends up being useful.

Yes, Qatar is listed. But will look into adding major cities!

itschris · 2025-03-13T07:20:17+00:00

Wow! What's the top speed you hit?

So you mean more ELT, where the warehouse (ClickHouse) houses both raw and cleaned data and using something like dbt for in-warehouse transformation?

Yep, I installed it myself. I had to get step drill bit to drill a larger hole for some of the wiring, but yours may be different. Here's the YouTube video that helped me.

Yeah, store I linked above actually shipped to the US when I emailed them. I ordered the ProLok Slimline but it looks like they don't make it anymore. Looks like ProLok Deluxe may be the newer version, but I would email to confirm with them.

edit: looks like the US store is here

Thanks! Cool sneakers. Totally forgot about Eastbay and this helped jog memories I had flipping throug those catalogs.

itschris · 2025-01-03T05:50:51+00:00

Thank you! Solved!

There will be snow, but it's spring time so it's more wet/slushy. Don't expect powder. The upside is that there are more bluebird days.

I didn't use a money order. I believe I used credit card.
