Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Anyone been to this ski area? Any opinions, good or bad? Info on the runs? snow? trees? etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 This one on Hokkaido? Kitataisetsu http://www.gl-net.ne.jp/kitataisetsu/index.html Went up there before it opened and it was covered and looked good. Will hopefully be going up before it shuts on the 12 January.

reev 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 been there a few times, only problem is the three slow, single lifts to the top. But, once you get there some decent runs through the trees, cheap lift tickets, and definitely no crowds... Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 It shuts in January? Thanks for the answers Mike & Blade. Just ran across it on the Yahoo weather page and thought it looked like it might be worth a side trip sometime. Seems to have about 700m of vertical. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah been wanting to hit it for a while. Tying it in with Kurodake, Asahidake and Kamui makes the most sense. Sweet little road trip that one Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 That's just what I was thinking, Mike. Haven't been to Kamui for quite a while now and I think it's time to revisit. Link to post Share on other sites
reev 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 agree with Mike there, plan a week and go where the snow is and wind isn't...Kurodake also closed for most of Jan. for maintenance, etc. so make sure you check schedules when heading to those parts. Link to post Share on other sites
