Tips for Hakuba vs. Niseko
NECK replied to TICesk's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
If you are an advanced park rider then happo banks is a joke! Hakuba 47 park has more advanced lines but still nothing compared to what you are probably used to in Summit county Colorado. Niseko basically has nothing to offer in the way of a park. Hakuba would be way more suitable for what you are looking for. -
Aomori-Hakodate ferry

Done the nihonkai route from Niigata to Hokkaido a few times in winter and it's always been fine. Cheap, clean and the beds are comfortable enough. -
Happo One - Cortina
NECK replied to Big Al's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
On a pow day Cortina is rammed and done by 9:30am Norikura lasts an hour or 2 longer. Iwatake is..... Nowhere near as good as Tsugaike. -
Smaller Resorts
NECK replied to TokyoVerls's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Myoko area for sure if you haven't been there already. Not small but not big either. Suginohara and Akakan would be the pick of the resorts there I'd say. -
Snova Mizonokuchi-R246
NECK replied to Metabo Oyaji's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
60 meters long, 2.5 meters high. Yeah, about 4 hits. Like a mini ramp then. Doesn't even look like it has any vert in the tranny in your initial photos Still, I'm sure it would be fun to session...... Especially when it's 35 degrees outside! -

The indoor pipe looks almost fun! Any idea on the exact size/dimensions? I'd guess it's long enough for 4 hits max, right? -

How tall and heavy are you see more? 83Kgs 5'11 I used to ride a 156 Fish and my Birdman is 160 (If they made it smaller I would buy a smaller one) so will be interesting hey! I'm 5'11 and 76 kgs. Currently riding a 156 Fish myself. I was very close to getting the 151. I'm tempted to pull the plug and get the Fishcuit 148 before this coming season ..... -
