SKMT 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I grew up in Yamanouchi and so Shiga Kogen was closeby - that's great motivation to learn to ski! Link to post Share on other sites
moogyfoogy 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Only ever been to one. I'm afraid it wasn't very good. Karuizawa, got taken there. Really want to get back and try out some proper places though. Link to post Share on other sites

swellski 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The first one I went to was Shizukuishi in Iwate. I was based in Morioka when I first came here and that's not too far off. Good place I have been back last season. This season not been out much due to work (overseas trips) and crap snow when I've been here and been able to. Link to post Share on other sites

mooncow 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 First one I went to was Gala Yuzawa. I just saw the adverts and it seemed so easy from Tokyo, and it sure was. ( and still is of course ) Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Appi Kogen. Unforgetable! I had never been there. I caught the first gondola of the morning and it was deep with fresh pow. I didn't know the course I chose had moguls. 5 meters down I break left and my body doesn't follow. I broke my leg. Actually heard the bone snap! Kind of ended my all Tohoku ski-jo trip. 3 months later the cast came off and I at least got in a day at Gassan. Link to post Share on other sites
