most hated resort?

So its nothing to do with riding but its a tick in the positive box.... -

Hiya Sweaty Sock (joke cos you beat us a rugby) Personally I would shoot straight to Niseko and bugger the cost. However, if you wanted to get some runs in before cruising up to Niseko then I recommend searching on this site for YUZAWA resorts in Niigata or HAKUBA resorts in Nagano for some early spring riding with everything easily at hand. Rough costs - lifts - 4000yen perday. Hire - max 3500yen per day (check that tho'). However, do a search for the above resort areas and you will find loads of info on this site. Personally tho' I would get to Niseko asap. -

There was a show in England a few years ago by that Michael Moore geezer. He did a survey which showed that 20% of americans couldn't find the USA on an atlas. Probably worse was that 7% couldnt find USA on a map of the USA. DOHHHHH!!!!! -

Which is one of the things they take very seriously! Not just a matter of swapping a season pass with a mate. Nah its no problem. If you get caught, you go on TV, bow, say you're sorry and something along the lines of "I will think long and hard about how best to atone for causing distrust in the public...blah blah blah!". -

Yup, I used to do the lovemaking dance with the sensors. Then i got some gloves with a small pocket which fits the chip thing perfectly. Now i practise my homealone five knuckle shuffle at the sensor gate. At least its quicker...ahem!. Fits with the thread title as well!!!! -
This one goes around too. Time to stick up for kagura. Happo snow sucks big time compared with Kagura. Powder at kagura is (sometimes) comparable with Hokkaido whereas Happo's is always wet. I agree with Happo's quantity of on-piste terrain but the amount of people at happo makes this a pain in the ass. Weekends are ALWAYS busy at happo and I prefer going to other resorts in Hakuba if you want on-piste. Off-piste at kagura is so easily accessable and with quality of snow it wins hands down against most of the Happo off-piste. Happo does have more of the very steep stuff though. Not
