TJ OZ 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hakuba47 probably has the best set up. Yanaba is good for a night session. Nothing on Happo and Tsugaike had a few reasonable jumps. Endless freeriding for me. I pray the halfpipe is full of powder. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 tsugaike's park has better lines than 47's but I don't think they make it til late in the season Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hakuba 47 for the day and Yanaba for night sessions. Alternatively build a backcountry booter. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you are going to ride only park then Hakuba although good cant compare to Whistler. There are better park places than Hakuba. If you want to ride the pow first then ride the park 47 is the best followed by sun alpina and tsugaike. Tsugaikes park is at 1700 meters so white out is a factor. Sun alpina has the most features in Hakuba actually they dont have a pipe though. A dark horse for good medium hits is Hakuba Norikura as well. They also have a pipe or 2 depending on the snow conditions. Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 A banger season. That means lots of snow, right? Is Sun Alpina still "Hakuba"? Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa-in-Kanagawa 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It's not in hakuba-mura but I think people still think of it as hakuba the area, just like they do with the resorts to the north in otari (tsugaike etc) Link to post Share on other sites
