明年你會去日本滑雪嗎?

[jimmy]

首先祝福福島,仙台等居民早日recover! :heart:

日本經曆地震, 海嘯, 核危機後, 明年你會繼續去日本滑雪嗎?

[Mike]

I went skiing in USA instead of Japan this year It is cheaper than going to Japan. :bill:

So I am going to ski in USA again next year (nice powder). :icon_good:

Having said that there is nothing to worry about if you plan to go to Hokkaido.

[hy]

I have been thinking this question as well. As the half life of radiation is 32 years, there is not much difference unless we go after 32 years. So, I am ready to go when things are back on track. Checked the websites of Naebe and Zao, look like both are closed this season.

Wish Japan can overcome this tragedy.

其實世上任何事都存在風險. 我覺得只要計算得準確一點, 很多時侯, 這些風險還是可以承擔得來的. 到日本滑雪最大的風險不是核輻射而是在山上給人撞倒. 尤其近年來多了不懂滑雪又不學又大膽的香港人和大陸人. 減低風險的方法是去一些沒有香港人或者根本沒有人的滑雪場. 其次是要時時刻刻望上山, 看看有沒有人失控衝下來. 再下來的風險是從機場到雪場的交通, 避免無謂的風險的方法當然是不要自己開車, 最好坐火車, 要不坐大巴, 還要坐較後又近逃生門的位置. 飛機當然也有風險, 根據統計, 起飛和降落時失事的機率最大. 所以最好是坐直航機. 被困吊車最壞的結果是體溫過低致死, 不可不防. 將風險減至零的方法當然是自己行上山, 還可以省錢. 不過對於年長的, 又會増加其心臟病, 中風的風險, 所以要自己去判斷一下. 其他如迷路, 走在凍結的路上時滑倒, 撞樹, 多吃了日本魚生拉肚子等等實在太多, 不能一一盡錄. 看來去日本滑雪本來就是挺危險的玩意. 既然大家一向都不太在意這些可能致命的風險. 又何怕加多一個輻射危機呢.

根據昨天的輻射測定量檢驗結果. 福島的波菜100克的輻射量是等於從東京飛紐約一程所接受的輻射量. 要是我是日本的高官, 我會當著電視鏡頭, 毫一不猶豫地一口吃掉這一百克波菜的. 最多一年不去
紐約罷了.

我不清楚香港人怕什麼. 又搶鹽又搶什麼的. 不過這不重要, 因為我知道明年這個時候, 大家都會把輻射危機淡忘的. 我們就是這樣的善忘嘛.....

Totally agree, I almost got hit by a HK snowboarder on a gentle green run since he ride straight and I was in his blind spot. Skier usually can see people down the slope better.

Don't you think of going to ski on Whistler this season, we are waiting for you.

Wish Japan can overcome this tragedy.

I'll still go for HKSSA ski trips to Hokkaido or Nagano area...:icon_giveup::icon_giveup:

Just want to know if anyone will go to Niseko on this Easter hoilday?? As I still planning to go there from 20 - 25 April 11, any comment?? :sweatdrop:

You will have to worry about the snow condition more than the nuclear pollution. The snow is melting fast these few days as the temperature rise.

At the end of April, the ski area will be limited to the top part of the mountain. There is a big chance that one have to download by the Ace two quad lift. If you are a good skier/rider and don't mind to ski on any snow condition and limited area, then you might be even be able to enjoy the fine weather.

[Freestylerwill]

I honestly dunno why people are so worried about the radiation situation. Hker breath in all sorts of pollutant everyday(2nd smoke), car exhaust gas etc..... Worrying something that will be diluted to an infintisinmal level is a little too much. I laugh at those people who scramble to buy salt/mike powder/Japanese food:mi:

Totally agreed. 太多香港人或不知明的黃皮膚人近幾年在niseko亂滑, 危險到痺。如果xmas d 災區平靜晒, 我都會繼續去日本, 沒有什麼好怕。現在不是一個好時機, 因為佢地d水、食物都要運去災區, 無謂在這時間去跟他們搶食物, 分薄他們的資源。

只願日本所以人得到平安快樂

日本經曆地震, 海嘯, 核危機後, 明年你會繼續去日本滑雪嗎?

Yes. Definitely. Skiing in Japan is sure a nice experience I refuse to give it up easily.

Keep going. Show our support to them. I usually ski Japan twice a year. I will make it 3 in coming season!

[moots]

I also definitely skiing in Japan, I have placed ski equipment in Zao and Hukuba.
Skiing in Korea was a terrible experience to me. The ski maaner in Korea is suck.
In Asai, Japan is the only place I will go for skiing.

[Nicholas yuen]

Thanks for yr advice. Think my board or ski can handle yr said condition.

Finally, hope Japan people will recover very soon & hope every people will keep on going to Japan & keep on spending money there.:mi:

I won't go to Japan for skiing because the ski resorts there are not as good as those in the states.

[Mike]

I won't go to Japan for skiing because the ski resorts there are not as good as those in the states.

Sure, that is your personal preference.

I agree that the Japanese ski resorts are small (they have hills rather than mountains) compare with the States, but for people in HK the flight to Japan is only 5 hours (vs 12 to 14 hours to West Coast) and no jet lag. Also, Japanese food is a lot more tasty and healthier than those US junk food.

If you have a chance. try skiing in the Alps, you won't be disappointed.:icon_good:

Agree. I also like to enjoy the transitional outdoor onsen after skiing. :icon_good:

About Japanese food, yes, that's my favorite.

I have skied at Hakuba One. I was very disappointed.

About Alps, I've never been there, but that's on my TODO list.

Why disappointed? Can you share your experience at Hakuba?

[Mike]

.... I have skied at Hakuba One. I was very disappointed....

I have not been to Hakuba myself ( been to Naeba, Shiga Kogen, Niseko, Rusutsu & Kiroro), but I have skied in the Alps, Whistler, North & South Tahoe, Australia, New Zealand & Chile. So, I can understand your disappointment, especially if you have to fly all the way from USA.
To be honest, I get bored after 3 days skiing in the same resort in Japan. :beer:

But for us in HK, Japan is better than Korea and China for skiing. :love2:

[HKS]

Mike is right. Alps is the place to go for serious skiing. The hills and the terrain in Japan is too small. I love Japanese food too but I will have them in Hong Kong or in a few days leisure trip to Tokyo. Onsen is good but I prefer the wine and atmosphere in the Alps resort. For me, the terrain, wine and atmosphere completely outweigh the Japanese food and the onsen and the travelling time. Frankly the food in Swiss sucks, worse than in US. Dining in France is better.

I would say if one could afford the time and money, go for the Alps as much as you can. Later when you are getting older and having more and more constraints, Japan would then be the only choice (Yes, that's my story) and you will regret not having been to (or enough) the Alps.

講得難聽 d 如果以後冇得去日本滑雪我都唔會覺得十分可惜，但如果冇得去 Alps 滑就真系好大打擊:wall:

[snowrider]

Thanks for HKS and Mike's feedback. Yes, they are right on the point!

Japan's ski resorts are small comparing to those in USA (and also Alps even though I've never been there). Their runs are short. Snow is not as dry as that in the CO and UT.

One of the reasons that I hestitate to visit Alps is language. I don't know anything about Germany, French, or Italian.

I hope one that I can join some ski group to Alps and no need to worry those.

You should have no problem in communicating in English.

However the snow in the Alps is no where as good as Utah or Colorado. Most skiers in Hong Kong have not been to Utah or Colorado because it is as easy or easier just to go to Europe to ski. The food is better in Europe and no visa required. I have been to Utah a few times and to Vail a number of times. The snow was so good.

We were in Courchevel from Feb. 5 to Feb. 12, and the whole reagion has not snowed since January 2.:msn_mass: But we enjoyed the good sunny weather and the ambient

[HKS]

Oh, I thought you won't go that far for skiing. I haven't been to Couchevel. I don't know what other Alps resort you have been to. But what do you think about the ambient in the Alps resort? It's one of the attraction to me.

As Skier said, English is not a problem at least in those usual large resort.

Utah (SLC) is where I plan to go skiing next February. :dance:

English is not a probem in the Alps. There are many many British go there skiing every year, most Europeans understand English a bit.

I have more language problem while skiing in Chile! So finally I decided to speak Cantonese to them :gunsfiring:

PS. Swiss food is actually very good (much better than the American and British food). For breakafast, Birchermuesli is my favourite. For dinner, you can have fondue or raclette, if you like cheese. If you are a meat eater, you can have rippli (pork ribs) or Zurcher Geschnetzeltes with rosti - all very delicious. :drunk::icon_good:

[HKS]

cheese fondue and raclette is not bad but seems not suitable for everyday. for the rest of the food you mentioned, I may not have tried them but I can get my friend to make them. He is a local Hong Kong Chinese but works as a chef in Kloster and I always complain to him that Swiss food is no good. Now it's time for him to prove otherwise.

[dan dan]

我都諗緊coming winter going to 北海道，但又擔心幅射。最近一個月都聽唔倒有關日本幅射既新聞，到底點好？
