BJ 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Is this a Japanese phenom? I know there's only a handful that are skier-only, but are there any overseas at all?? Link to post Share on other sites
crazyski 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Yup, there's still 3 in the states: Alta, Utah, Mad River Glenn, Vermont, and Taos, New Mexico. Aspen Mountain, Colorado was until a few years ago... If I haven't mentioned it before, Alta rocks. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I would love to go to a skier only resort in America. Just to see the differences. The traverses must be nice. Many rippers come out of Alta so it must be pretty amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
crazyski 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Yup, a lot of rippers there: POWDER's February cover boy, Jamie Pierre (from my hometown, Minnetonka, Minnesota), the Collins Bros. (Matt and Chris), Gordy Peifer, Sage Cattabriga, filmmaker Chris Ostness, photographer Lee Cohen, among many others... There's sweet hiking ops, traverses are often long and hairy, and not a monkey in sight... Link to post Share on other sites
RayInJapan 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Sometimes I wish there were "snowboarders only" resorts... not always, but sometimes... Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 If it makes you feel any better Ray some of the indoor facilities in japan are boarder only I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I wonder why that is then. SSARS used to do it on rotation didn't they? Link to post Share on other sites
