Tsonda, snowlife will not only require more planing, but a sh!t load of money, something that is very difficult to come by living in Tanegashima.

But that is ok, i got some secret plans for our new life down there. please come and see us by the way \:\)

Sou, i'm impressed with your knowledge... but mns klint is not quite the highest point.



this winters massive rain has caused some big slides by the way


This awesome mountain (Yding skovhj) is the highest, One Hundred And Sixty Two Meters!!!;) it gets about 20 cm of snow pr decade

From Copenhagen you can reach "Fujiten quality" resorts in 3 hours by car in Sweeden. if you want better snow you have to go quite far up north. Sweeden don't have very big mountains in general.

Norway is a 12 hour drive thru sweeden or overnight ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo.
Gasoline is about 200 yen/L and the ferry is also very expensive. Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world.

A cheap alternative is Poland. they get decent snow and have some ok mountains (so i am told) but last thing i heard is that the resorts lack infrastructure.

most danes go to the Alps by bus or airplane.

Snowlife is nice in japan. i could get 30+ days pr season on a small salary. Just need a old car, some gear and a warm sleeping bag.
