happytobehere 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi there new here. Looks like a great place, glad I found it. I was wondering are there any full size toboggan courses at resorts in Japan? There must have been for the Olympics I'm sure but is that still going? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good questions actually wondered that myself sometimes, have to see I have never seen any and I have been to a lot of resorts. I think the courses are made only for olympic events only in Japan, but not sure about that. Link to post Share on other sites
actually 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I asked a few Japanese friends - they said there are none. I sure can't remember hearing of any other than the Olympics. Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I bet they cost a fortune to run those things. Probably explains why there aren't any. Link to post Share on other sites
i have a blue peter badge 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Where was the Olympic one anyway? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Olympic one was at Iizuna Kogen. A smallish resort close to Nagano city. Also hosted the freestyle events at the olympics won by Tae Satoya Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 They have a luge run at Fu's in Sapporo. I think it was from the Sapporo games in 72 Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 How do those thing pay for themselves anyway? People can't just go and have a go can they (anywhere in the world, I mean)? How about that luge in Sapporo? Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Dont really know. However the international school does a yearly trip trip there. I think they make reservations maybe Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Is that a small thing quattro, like one-man or something? (ie. not one of those huge 4 people runs) Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It's a luge run. Not a bobsled run. luge is the small sled that you lay on your back and only a few inches off the ice. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 have you seen road luge>? That shit is DANGEROUS!!! Link to post Share on other sites

People can't just go and have a go can they (anywhere in the world, I mean)? How about that luge in Sapporo? sometimes they can have a go in a bobdsled down the track with a real driver. We did it in La Plagne in France used for last year...not that scary but fast. I think it costs about 60euro Link to post Share on other sites
