41 days til I’m in niseko. Any one ever done a back country tour in niseko?
We’re gonna line it up with the Hanazono crew when we go over!!!!!
Are you doin one????? Who ya lookin at?????
Obviously depending on the amount of money you have does it cost an excessive amount to take your boards over or with prices and that over there is it wise to buy a new board?
Depends who you fly with as they all have different baggage rules. Generally we all travel with board bags as our main piece of check-in luggage so it can range from not costing anything extra at all to a couple of hundred extra.
Unless you manage to snag a deal on an older model in the Tokyo stores gear isn’t any cheaper and in some cases typical overpriced on snow prices for gear over there so don’t presume it will be cheaper to buy a board there.
Yeah, gear is definitely not cheaper in Japan!!!!!
Plus a lot of the airlines are doin extra luggage allowances this season!!!!!
Even when they aren’t, it isn’t a major cost factor, cause if ya buy gear here before ya go ya can also claim the GST back at the TRS at customs in the airport!!!!!

So where’s your new board? Come on, Julia Gillard is giving you money to buy one!

Not sure exactly how long they are, but they state that due to the way that Mt Annupuri is, the hike to get fresh lines is pretty easy!!!!!
