Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 no worries mate, there have been a few good articles in other mags that I thought you'd like...but then I might think youre turnin to the other side... Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Haven't done it yet, but I can skin over to the top of Miyagi Zao's Cat Drop-off from Yamagata Zao's peak. Haven't had any need though as our trees never get skied out anyway. Could be a fun day trip though. Skin over, ski that terrain, ride the cat back up, skin back over to this side. That would cancel the need to take the train/bus or drive from here to the Miyagi base. Link to post Share on other sites
