JAPAN 2012 / 2013
If it’s under the weight allowance, how will they know if it’s one or two boards anyway? They normally just weigh and then tell you to put with the other oversized baggage. Are they going to search all board bags??? I’ve never had mine searched.
yeah have never seen anyone been pulled up for having more than 1 board in bag
its there on the T&C though so there is possibility they could pull you up on it….highly doubt they would bother doing that though…its not RyanAir or tiger
They can, and I have heard of them doing it in the past!!!!!
They will even tell you to remove clothing etc etc, as it’s not under the terms of the policy!!!!!
Ya might be lucky, like I’m hopin that I might get past checkin with JAL, but as long as ya aware of the rules at least ya can be ready for a contingency plan!!!!!
I like to be prepared for everythin!!!!! I even pack extra undies when I travel!!!!!
renting is more expensive….works out cheaper to lug your own even with airline excess =\
checked our rhythm Niseko…
60 bucks a day….$505 for 18 days…(comes with bindings so dont know if its cheaper without) x 2 for two people….1000 bucks on rental gear…no thanks
Yeah, I thought as much and that’s why I didn’t even put the effort into lookin at hire prices!!!!!

here i thought i was the only one doing that
never know when you might chuck a k2 
I can’t beleive from both Shred there is now reference to “doing a K2”
And we all know which one applies to whatever sentence it’s used in!!!!!
I’m very happy to say I’ll be teaching in Hakuba this season!
Happo One to be precise. If any BoardWorlders are in town, hit me a message on here and we’ll meet up for a shred!

nice one. hope it works out for you. some of the rules are pretty anal. I can’t remember which resort it’s at but the free pass you get is sewn into your instructors jacket. So if you want to ride on your day off, you still need to have your resort jacket on
You’re gonna have to eat a pair of Grandma’s undies to redeem yaself from that shit, Andy!!!!!
Literally!!!!!
I’ll be getting some lessons while I’m in Hakuba. Will need to figure out where from first.
Andy, you working for Happo or a company that uses Happo?

I’m working for Happo One Ski School. Hope to see you there 
@Mizu - There must be a different way to earn some gnar points. That just doesn’t sound fun for anyone 
@Gamblor - Mother of GOD! I hope that’s not my ski school lol. I didn’t see it in the contract anywhere.
I have heard that gettin a ticket to the Sumo’s is near impossible?????
Although I have never looked into it myself!!!!!
Sumo season is November ish, I went a couple of years back. We just got tickets at the door.

Off to Asahikawa on the 15th until the 25th/26th
Probably hit up Asahidake, Kurodake, Furano, Kamui Links etc
Sooooo pumped to get my backcountry on.
