Hi, me and a friend are going to be boarding in Hakuba on the 23rd-27th Jan. We are flying into Nagoya so will be taking the train to Hakuba from there...however, I can't seem to find prices anywhere for the Chuo limited express train.
Does anyone happen to know the price for the journey?
Thanks
Richard

haha, yeah korean resorts are pretty bad! although i'm off to muju next week for laughs! last year i went to gala yuzawa which was nice for a day but small and not at all challenging... hakuba is looking pretty great, but which resorts there offer the best off piste boarding? 47 looks good on paper, but how about getting into trees etc? i have done a bit of reading about the resort itself but cant find much on getting off the groomed runs... also for 2 days is it worth getting half day passes and trying a few of the resorts?
also lookin at nozawa onsen..seems to be a nice size and have read that ski patrols dont really mind you going off piste... how does this resort compare to hakuba in terms of terrain, lift lines, accomodation and obviously POW?
sorry if my questions seem a bit dumb and thanks for the replies so far!

hi, me and 2 firends are going to japan for a long weekend snowboarding in late january. i have been looking a lot at shiga kogen and it looks awesome in terms of terrain - i love back country or challenging snowboarding and it seems shiga has the most variety (20 resorts). however reading a few things on here and other sites am wondering if its the place to go... accomodation seems expensive and limited and from what i have read it is quite family orientated. on the other hand, hakuba or nozawa seem to have decent hotels and nice towns, but the resorts dont seem to have as much variation?
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!
