ILoveZao 8 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am so used to go weekday now that weekends just annoy me with so many people. I will usually be one less people for those people and everyone is happier. Link to post Share on other sites

If you hit those walls at speed (some of them are 5ft-6ft)yes you will take off... on the other side you have some VERY steep drops, do a scouting run first Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason people don't head down there first thing in the morning, (it leads to 3 very fun Blacks and 2 nice Reds ) but takes a while to get back up to the top. both of these shots are around the middle mark. It starts windy and a little narrow, then these two slopes, (you need to carry speed to get through the flats) then it gets steeper towards the end, then prob the steepest run in Nozawa if you head down Mukoubayashi you don't finish at a lift , so maybe thats why i never saw lots of people there.

You can, but not recommended there, (and is marked out of bounds) down a little further there are some nice tight tree runs, The top of the mountain (Yamabiko) has a lot of area for off piste, and even after 2 days i could see fresh runs all over, Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Noie, I saw this pic of yours on Nozawa Now photos. I don't recognise it as a Nozawa course. Interested to find out where it is taken from. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A guess, from memory of last January there, it would be from a ways down skyline looking back up towards the top? OR from one of the "nice blacks" that Noie mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites
