moondog 0 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 where's the place to snowboard?? I've been to a lot of resorts all over Ishikawa (crap, of course), Toyama (not great), and Nagano... also a couple spots in Hokkaido and Arain Mountain & Spa in Niigata. But I'm looking for somewhere new. I was thinking about Tohoku. Is there anything great in Tohoku? I've heard that Zao is pretty good, but with a lot of flat-- I'm definitely not into flat. Anything amazing in Niigata I shouldn't miss? A little help here! What are some recommendations? My trip will be around December 22- 30 for about 4 days. Thanks a bunch.

dale#1 1 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Take a look around the reviews section as a start http://www.snowjapan.com/e/voice/review.php I don't know Tohoku myself, but want to go too. Looking at Appi and Shizukuishi amongst others. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I'm not an expert, but Tohoku is a pretty big area. Come on Tohoku-heads, give the dog some help! Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Have you considered Fukushima? There are quite a few little resorts in the Bandai area. I'm partial to GranDeco myself. I think there are some Fuku-folks on the boards who may have more "insider" opinions though. Link to post Share on other sites
