Fattwins 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Its not a can of worms really its about at least getting some facts straight. How small is Happo, Goryu, Tsugaike, Sun Alpina, Iwatake, Norikura and cortina combined I'd sure like to know. Link to post Share on other sites

frankjg113 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 If you do end up going to Hakkoda I would recommend hiring a guide since the best skiing or snowboarding there is on the other peaks. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 and if so a REAL guide, not like the guy who led his group of unprepared guests into a slide last year. Link to post Share on other sites

If your asking for whats quoted I have to say visiting all the resorts you mention will cut down your pow intake by drastic amounts. Unless you have a good guide at each place. I am no hakuba expert but here is my history... trip one: 3-1/2 weeks, 3 days off, 2 because either I was beat or no snow. Total resort ridden 2. trip two: 2 weeks, 1 day off because because luggage did not arrive. Total resorts ridden 2. I'd love to see all the hills but you'll never bag the amounts of pow you want unless you get to know and become intimate with the hills you ride. Knowledge is earned in the hills. Happo, tsugaike and another one I forget the name were more than enough for me for close to 6 weeks. I still wish to see the monkeys though. But snowboard is more fun.
