sometime skier 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 What was the 1st snow resort you went to in Japan, and how was it? I suppose the 1st time has an extra meaning and I'm still wondering where to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I went to Ryuo in Nagano and was blown away and gobsmacked by the clumps of snow on the trees, the deep powder, the stunning view down the valley, the kamoshika in the trees, and the snowboard babes with the perfect makeup. I cut quite a figure in my red waterproof cycling trousers that turned out not to be waterproof. I've always wanted to go back to Ryuo to see if it was as good as I thought it was, but I never made it. I think it's probably quite a nice place. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Kawaba Gunma was working there. Second resort happo with 47 the 3rd Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Jiigatake in Nagano. Its next to Kashimayari in Omachi. I loved it but as it only has 5 lifts or so and shallow runs I doubt I'll ever go back. Also my schools principle has a season pass there. Link to post Share on other sites

mogski 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 This is really embarassing but my first was a samll icy and poor place called Tangram Madarao. Man it hurts just to think about those days... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 The artificial ski slope on Mt Rokko behind Kobe. First time ever skiing. Second was Hachikita in Hyogo. I don't remember for sure but third was probably OkuShiga/Yakebitai at Shiga Kogen. First time on the board was at Hakodateyama next to Lake Biwa. Link to post Share on other sites

Goemon 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hey, db, I'm not about "labels". I think this is all covered in the transexual thread anyway. You can call boot a "him" or a "her" if you like; makes no difference to me and more freedom to you, my brother! Link to post Share on other sites
