Ive been told I could and there are a few resorts at the base and surrounding area.
Last time I went in December I talked to a girl coming from fuji on the shinkansen coming back from Kyoto and she was carrying her snowboard.
So i wanna go snowboarding there =)

I'm gonna wait until I switch insurance carriers before I go back to any HPDE's since I know USAA drops insurance policies if I were to report an accident at buttonwillow.

SHO! Good luck on your new adventures! I haven't been very active in the Z scene for a while...work, life, moved to a bigger house and bigger mortgage payments, usual stuff that gets in the way of having fun. I still hit the Palomar/Julian mountains every 6 months or so...but I do it solo as I'm usually going through that area on the way to a family function. Got 70K on the Z so far.

With you being closer to the source of my next car...you'll have to keep an eye out for any GTR info for us!

Brian.

Joechia: huh!??
FLZ Boy: Trust me I’ve tried…. And it is too expensive and didn’t make any financial sense. You should go to track events man! Don’t be afraid of using your car!
Heezyo2o: Thanks for letting me know re: the run. I’ll see if I can.
Ed: Thanks man! Keep your Z till I return!
Zman23 (Jon): was good doing canyon runs with you! Sorry we couldn’t do the last Idlewild(SP?).
Islandsnow: I guess that was the only time I run into you! And it was in my old Acura TL! Hahaha. Man, you were one of the people that had the rare Z! I had to chase you down or tried to. J
Boneout: sorry we didn’t get to meet but maybe someday.
MarOner: I’ll be sure to have my own Yakuza Clan! You probably have a better chance of seeing Bow Wow here more after the Tokyo Drift shoot!
Wired: Go Bruins! Go back to Buttonwillow lately?
Gt3: I’ll try!
Charlie: umm… that’s the “Z” flag in the Naval dictionary.
SOCAL350: Thanks man!
Yorbri: yup… let me know if you need an authentic JPOP CD’s or JDORAMA DVD’s. I’m your source!
Sr. Rafael: thanks man…. Too bad we couldn’t go out for a drink or two.
I plan to head back out to Buttonwillow this winter. I got my track beater up and running, (just needs a 6-point cage, seats, paint, and coolers). Definetly, I'm going to miss seeing you out on the HPDEs.

Good luck. I loved Japan the nearly five years that I lived there. I would have stayed longer but the US Navy had other plans for me and returned me to stateside duty. I had a blast there in the pre-AIDS times of the early 1980's.
