Honestly, from what everyone tells me, just make sure it's 110+. So Patrons should be plenty appropriate.

Headed to Niseko Jan 12-19.

The five weeks I spent in Hakuba a number of years back, the 116mm underfoot skis I had were great. Taking some 138s this time, so I guess I'm planning on snorkeling every day.

Dude it’s crazy, no lift lines what so ever. No one at all is in town. It’s not an exaggeration saying I’m one of the only people in the hill.




plus there’s a blizzard coming so hopefully we gat some mad pow!

There has been nothing at all. All the snow is melting in the last two days, but the day before that was good. The storm is just starting to roll through now. I just went skiing but all the slopes are closed.... guess they want to let the snow base build up a bit more. I take it the storm is rolling through Niseko now as well?
