torihada 2 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Originally Posted By: muikabochi Which slopes will it be torihada? Was going to Kawaba today; no point due to conditions. Hopefully Tazawako (Akita)if it opens, Ani (Akita & already open), local ski jo (if it opens)- mainly for nightas and convenience - and four days at Appi Kogen which is booked for 2nd week of Jan. Fingers crossed for a big dump this week. Link to post Share on other sites
