snotrag 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 kagura mitsumata was pretty fun-- wasn't icy and wasn't sluggish for spring conditions. not too crowded either. so in the States, the lift ops slow down the chair by holding it back as you get on. how does one avoid getting smacked in the back thighs here in japan ski resorts? i've tried everything, and all i have are bruises to show for my efforts.

soubriquet 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Catch it for yourself. Doesn't everyone do that? Link to post Share on other sites
snotrag 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 maybe it's a strength issue. the chair always win. i'm a lightweight. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 you put your hand behind you ready to catch it as it just about hits your calves. Nothing too difficult but saves a hell of a lot of pain. Make sure you're not wearing a watch. Link to post Share on other sites
