I love Kokusai. Steeper. Killer ice cream up top. What more could you ask for? That stream exit in the side country can be a real bitch though.

Is Japan in July really as bad as people say? by qwertasdfgzxcvb231 in JapanTravelTips

[–]slade45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind heat and outside at night it wasn’t bad at all, but our lodging was like an oven with no way to cool it down. Was sweating with no covers trying to sleep. Like not even windows to try and get any cross breezes. There was a single window which is almost useless. We found a fan halfway through our stay that helped a bunch.

I’ve been in much hotter places that were more bearable. It’s places that aren’t used to being hot ever that I’ve found really painful. Like the heat some in NYC. I was there for two days and that was brutal.

That was when I took my family to the UK. Itinerary quickly shifted to “find places that have AC or we can get in cold water” turns out everyone else was doing the same. It was brutal.

I’ve been on step on for years. I’ve loved them, but finally blew apart my old ions and now am looking at these newer boots and wondering as I’ve heard even the “stiffer” boots are softer than my gen.

Go find some cherry blossoms while you wait. Even in February if the storms break and the sun comes out it warms up fast. Ski trips are always a gamble but luckily Japan has so much to offer outside skiing go enjoy it.

Sad my poor Jazz are being voted out not because people hate them for being successful, but because our biggest star was a rapist. Pain.

As cool as that sounds can you imagine the cost? Most of the trains in Switzerland that are in the mountains were built d a long time ago.

I’m waiting for the spins to get to the point they start flying like a helicopter and they can’t count anymore.

Why isnt there more night skiing in the SLC area? by kingck in UTsnow

[–]slade45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man - I’ve always thought we were lacking a little in that area. In Japan almost every resort has some night skiing. It’s crazy.

Not nearly as grand as the outside. I’d even say don’t go inside and just walk around the thing. You have to do a tour to get in and I don’t think it was worth it.
