And noserings for cows, brit-gob??

As they say, Have a Gala Day.

Go at lunchtime to avoid Cheeseman

Is it JTB running it or a resort/other group? Interesting to know more about that.

Whats that peaker??

There's a good Dosanko in Yuzawa about 2-3 mins walk from the station on the east side road.

What exactly are, fat skis??

Few different places, but I'm hoping to try somewhere new this year.

It's a giant marshmallow, with a small figurine put on top.

enderzero, you got work in Nagano? Anyhows, I thought I heard there was bumper early snow over in the US this winter?

It is small but high up and usually with good early and late snow (and in season of course). Some people have been known to ride off the courses too, but don't do that ok?

Rather you than me, buddy. You're prepared to go all the way up there for the weekend? Yikes. You have more passion than I do.

Anyone know why so late?

Worth a re-read this one!

This is interesting. Dokumanju let us know how you get on will you? I wouldn't mind doing something myself.

What the views like from Tenjindaira - bet they must be amazing on a clear day.

Average out about 90 minutes probably,

Best one I had was at GALA Yuzawa. Expensive mind. Generally, it sucks!

The main places - never. They sometimes have very slow days (to say the least!) but they make sure they don't get blocked off with an army of machines, sprinklers, salters, etc.

It gets a lot of snow and good snow at that. Big place, famous for having lots of different owners who can't "come together". Also famous for Snow Monsters. Theres some reviews in the review section of this site, some people find there too many level road type runs to get from one are to another. Still a very popular place tho'.

It must be great working at a resort. And it will be good to hear the resorts side of this 'debate'

The usual, but it's the best season by far. + outweight the -

I'll tell my Japanese friends about it, but I cant read Japanese myself

Looks like this part of the site is going to rock BIG TIME when it gets going. Excellent!

Combination of things, big is good but courses and snow conditions take priority
