For me it will be that i'll get to show other people how to progress, so that they can improve, ride more of the mountain and have more fun. The massive bonus, is that i'll get to work, live, and play in the best environment on earth - the mountains.

Niseko Instructor, I will be staying in Higashiyama again for the first week of February and was curious if you knew what the Higashiyama ski school you will be working for charges for a day and half day of private guiding? Cheers.

I dont have that info, i was only told the pay structure, not the price structure. I am not even sure if they have finalised prices for this season yet. I only got confirmation about when i can move in to staff accom a week ago.
Sorry i can't be more helpful.
Would you like a link to the wwebsite or the email address for finding out? I'll have that somewhere.
Junior.

Edit Reason: Instructor, we don't allow business links on here. Check the guidelines. However, I've put the Higashiyama page on our site on here. Thanks.

looking forward to: being physically tired from hiking/skiing a whole day and then take that beer and just feel all relaxed, hopefully in the sun somewhere listening to some good music.. or dressing up as a smurf for valentines day. I don't know, both are kind of similar..

lol, thats gotta to be one of the funniest things i've read in a while.
Smurfette always had a red hat as i recall (it was one of my favourite cartoons as a kid), do you posses a red hat?
It's true she is the only female, what does that say about smurf culture?

na, it's the old smurf that has the red hat (google) and she has a white.
I have both, but since I don't have a beard. Funny, no matter how hard I try I just can't grow one. Because of that I don't think I can qualify as the old smurf (gammelsmurfen) even if I do posses a red hat.
well, she.. what happens to all the babygirl smurfs? I would like to know what.
