Just out of curiosity VM, how old was this Heli guide? I guess my worry is that if I have this done at age 46 then i'm probably in for some serious trouble in my 60's and 70's. Appreciate the...

Again, thank you steelhead. In such a misery vortex over this situation that any feedback is super appreciated. I have never been a bump skier, in fact I suck in the bumps, but I do love the steeps...

Thanks Steelhead, your input is much appreciated. I had the knee scoped about 2 weeks ago and they removed more meniscus and took pictures. Bad news is they told me i'm not a candidate for a partial...

So i'm looking at the prospect of partial knee replacement surgery of the lateral compartment, and i'm thrilled. I'm 45 and my knee has given up the ghost so that's my best option. Wondering if...

yeah, but does he ski?...and more importantly, does he ski like he's been lit on fire?... ; )

Yeah, saw the "Gimp" section AFTER i posted my thread. thanks.

So we're all set up for a week of skiing in Niseko and pretty fired up for it. We're gonna do tokyo on the tail end of the the trip and are currently looking at lodging in the city. Anybody have any...

that last pic reminds me of Portillo. Sweet.

Hey BD Lodge, thanks for all the info, extremely helpful. What place are you pimpin? You never mentioned the name of the place you recommended? We kinda want to be near hirafu(for the night life?)...

Thanks RiderX. To scotsman, the only reason I put my email address on there was because i didn't want to bore the rest of the list with this discussion. Just something we do on the music lists that I...

Hey riderX, did they hit you up for an extra luggage "Fee" when you had your ski's sent back to Haneda due to size issues?

rfoubi, amen to what you said. I've skied all over the world and the "adventure" is half the fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what Japan skiing is all about.

Oh sally, you are quite a bore. I don't remember "Demanding" anything. Just asking for some insider info, plain and simple. If you don't have anything constructive to add, then move on. I guess...

You are definitely the chubby kid who got his ass kicked in high school, seriously mate, do you always make an ass of yourself on this site? I'm gonna have a good laugh with you sally. To the rest of...

Listen mate, the info you DID offer was appreciated, but i've pretty much checked all that basic stuff out at this point. I was more interested in finding out about the "Japan pass," ie: whether it's...

Yeah I did, and your reply was the only one that smacked of typical "Core" knee-"jerk" reaction to someone asking a question that was obviously too simple for you. I've checked flights and was simply...

Dude, get over yourself. I've found plenty of info about skiing there, just wanted some beta from someone who's been there. Learn how to read douchebag.

Trying to put together a trip to Japan in February and was wondering if anyone on here has been there. We're looking to go to Niseko and wanted to get some beta on the area. Trying to get info about...
