Bro how much does a F1 photographer make? 😅

@sohum6326 Год назад

Yeah I’m always wondering that too. Especially since it’s known to not pay that much. I think I read that he owned and sold a business before becoming an f1 photographer which explains a lot.

@DutchyMC Год назад

Kym has a business in Australia (something to do with audio) that he built, and is now run for him. He still owns the business, and I guess he makes enough money from it to afford being an F1 photographer. He made several wildlife photo books before getting into F1, also travelling across continents for them. He may also have had other businesses and sold those but I'm not sure about that. But remembering the watch collection video, he bought his first Rolex a long time ago. He's had money for years and years now.

Skied the mountain at Hilton in Niseko. That's where we were when covid started to hit. Got a text from Qantas telling us our flight was cancelled. We thought yeah yeah. 10 days left to ski. Got the message border was closing and get home. Was absolute chaos. We had no idea just how bad it was. Loved Niseko more than Sun Peaks in Canada.

The smooth snow is irresistible!😉 Delicious food and hot springs are also the best!

@mushieslushie Год назад

I was there in February 2020 right before Covid. I had a great time but getting there from the US was a lot of traveling. Flight to LAX, Tokyo, then Sapporo and then the bus from Sapporo to Niseko. If you can fly direct to Sapporo that would save a lot of time, which I'm assuming from Australia you can. There are plenty of good places to Ski in the US that are much easier to get to but the snow conditions in Niseko were unmatched, as well as the food.

@champan250 Год назад

All four sections are connected at the top, so don't understand why you planned to take a bus from Grand Hirafu to Niseko Village And also the best of Niseko is all the off piste stuff

@tommy_walker Год назад

at some points early in the season (early dec) the top lifts arent open but there is a free shuttle

Hello Kym, fantastic video with an insight on how to move around ski slopes in Japan. You certainly are a man of many talent's. Thanks so much for sharing your family holiday but continue to stay safe 😷

@KymIllman Год назад

Cheers. Will do

@harrryw4004 Год назад

Loved this Kym! Going to Niseko soon (and then to the Aus GP in March!) so will use your guidance for both :)

@davza108 Год назад

Kym you gotta check out the ING debit card when you get back to Australia. Draw cash at the live rate minus a tiny amount, similar to Bankwest card. You just gotta increase your balance every month (1c will do), do 5 transactions with the card and you qualify for 5 fee free withdrawals overseas. It can save some money when ATMs charge $10AUD

@KymIllman Год назад

Will do. Thanks

@camarch Год назад

Used to Ski in Niseko all the time. I recognise all the places in the video so it's funny seeing you there now.

@DosAussieThai Год назад

Why didn't you just ski across the top to Village and Annupuri instead of driving a car? Also could you tell me how to ski back up the mountain like that? Very impressive :P

@yvonneahy Месяц назад

How long does it take to ski down one area? Roughly?

@manmountain7545 Год назад

Kym love your ski outfit. That was a beautiful day on that resort. Loved all the different resorts look like a lovely place to go skiing. And what a good price for seniors 28 dollars US. It's so expensive here in the states. I used to go quite a bit but now it's getting a bit too expensive. Looks like your boy came awfully close to one of those lift poles again on that first run. However he did make a successful little jump without breaking a wrist. Looks like an overall fabulous visit so far. How is the language barrier?, enough English speaking people to get by. Cheers mate.

@KymIllman Год назад

Everyone speaks English here. So many Aussies and New Zealanders. And the jacket is Bogner, super comfortable Man Mtn

@manmountain7545 Год назад

Kym do you bring your own skis and equipment or do you rent equipment at the resort? So nice that you stayed at the resort so you didn't have to worry about driving or parking. Skiing in the states here they tend to gouge you for the day pass and then now they charge you for parking. And I was younger and used to go skiing prices were very reasonable and parking was free. And food was fairly reasonable. Could always find a room for a cheap rate. Seems inflation has leaked into every facet of life. Stay passionate. Cheers mate.

@KymIllman Год назад

We all rent skis and boards.

@Balo657 Год назад

The ski prices are very reasonable compared to here in California where you’ll be paying $100 and you’ll deal with a crowded ski resort. Also great information on how to get the most from exchanging currency.

@manmountain7545 Год назад

Cost even more than $100 nowadays to go to the ski resorts I did when I was younger. I also skied regular in the 70s 80s and 90s. And then when prices started to get two outrageous I pretty much gave up on it. The rates were so much reasonable then. But I was younger and had less money so it worked out.

@mushieslushie Год назад

Where are you going that is only $100? Prices from this holiday weekend are well over $200 at most resorts.

@Sam-by4xd Год назад

Hi Kym if you're interested in a card that has no foreign transaction fees including at ATM's, I believe the Bankwest Platinum Debit card doesn't have any fees. Alternatively I've also used an upbank debit card overseas which was great and had no fees including at ATM's (unless the ATM provider charged a fee), although you don't get frequent flyer points like with credit cards.

Hi loved the video. Just quick question about the pricing chart of 1 to 11 day pass, was it the non peak pricing based on the date you posted the video? Also, what's the use day(effective day) mean? I am guessing it means the first 7 day pass has to be in a row and the last two options can be used with a day or two in break? Thank you in advance.
