Thank you muikabochi We can all have a pretty good guess what Cheesemans favoutite is. Or does he really eat cheese? Maybe he just likes to photograph it? Enlighten us Cheeseman.

What's good, what's not - pics welcome

Are the lift lines long on the weekend? How long do you have to wait?

Thank you Mada, I promise not to tell anyone about your secret spots, ha ha

Ichinose Family - again, nice tree runs to the right of Ichinose and above Tan-ne no mori Okojyo when facing the mountain Thanx Mada, are these tree runs tracked out quickly after fresh snow?

Hi Flip, Not sure on my compass directions there but I was standing on the pavement in front of the shopd and looking across the road up high above the Nikko Nature Museum. I seem to recall a small cable car near there also.

What was your best day ever at SK and what courses did you ski?

Could it be Senjyogahara cross country ski area?

A Question about the Nikko area. When I was standing in the main street of Chuzenji Onsen last in February looked way up the hill behind the bus stop & I could see people skiing past right at the top. I could not see any way of getting there. Does anybody know what that ski area is?

Originally Posted By: iiyamadude You should. Yokoteyama was until not so long ago skiers only (and still boarders are limited to some runs) while Kumanoyu is skiers only. Often great snow up there too. Cool, I am really looking forward to it. How early does the first bus leave Ichimose for Yokoteyama?

I am a skier and I will be checking out that bread shop. Thanks folks.

yes it's a quizz and the prize is - I promise not to tell anyone of those secret spots

Hi iiyamadude, What is your favourite Shiga area after fresh snowfall

Heading to Shiga Kogen for the first time & have a couple of questions. 1/ Does Shiga have a good range of on-course restaurants like Nozawa (spoilt for choice there), or do you eat at accommodation base areas? 2/ Is it possible to ski all of the red & black runs over 7 days? (conditions permitting) Any info on Shiga Kogen appreciated. Cheers,
