ssardo 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can confirm that... top 1% of skiing ability for sure and also pretty fit! I had to beg her to stop after a 3hr, 1000m climb up Yotei-zan on Thursday and although age-wise, i'm past the big four zero, I dont consider myself unfit! Link to post Share on other sites

Emilia 0 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 as for the snowconditions, great now strong wind today, can't wait for tomorrow with hopefully not as strong winds, and good thing the top was closed today (sunday).. less ppl for the snow tomorrow. and by the way, what's the best way to get to Hakuba from here, flying sapporo - narita, then train nagano and bus the last bit looks like the best option.. or? (i have used the search function too so don't give me that) cheers. and for those that I haven't pm. sorry, but i can't. so gotta be otherway around. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Are you sure you arrive at Narita? Domestic is usually Haneda... Do a little search for a thread from a few days ago about travelling between Narita and Hakuba. I wrote down estimated times and costs. Link to post Share on other sites
