  2. First of all thank you to snow Japan and Madarao kogen for these free lift tickets! Without them I would probably not of chosen this resort and I'm very happy I got the chance to ride this mountain and happy to have the chance to write this review.

  4. Just a couple of photos from my recent return this week! today was much clearer with great viz into lunch time. around 2pm it started snowing which was definitely needed as it was starting to get a little bumpy.

There is only one simple equation to deal with to deal with today... Me+snowboard+Maiko Snow Resort=GREAT DAY OFF! Wednesday January 30 2013 Ok so its not quite that simple, first I have to get myself there, now I can quite understand many peoples problem with taking the bus in the morning to arrive around 10 or 11 and thus "wasting" the day but when bus and lift pass comes in at under 5K I see more time not less time on the snow as I
  8. Well that's one to knock off the list then. I've had a good look at the hotels listed on SJ but working out the prices individually seems to be coming up a lot more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for but Any English sites you recommend offering package deals that you know off? the best site I found is offering the hotels I listed Including board rental ski pass Shinkansen breakfast etc Cheers
