ciotime 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi...Im thinking of taking my kids to the Echigo Yuzawa area coz its near Tokyo. All of us are non skiers. Is there a resort in the Yuzawa area that have those snow sled or slide for kids? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ipponsugi!? Tiny tine 1 lift place. At least go somewhee like Naspa which is a few minutes from the station and very family friendly. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 how old are the kids? maybe old enough to learn skiing Link to post Share on other sites
ciotime 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Still small..9 and 6 years old. Im looking for resorts that have those ski slides where kids sit on a sled or rubber inflatable thing and slide down a ski slope. Link to post Share on other sites
dyna8800 3 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Naspa has the Kids Ski Garden complete with character Pingu and magic carpet... Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 But at least the atmosphere at Naspa would be better than the almost not there it's so small Ipponsugi. Thats the one a few hundred m from the station, right between the station and Ropeway? Link to post Share on other sites

Do them a favour, get them ski lessons. Link to post Share on other sites
ciotime 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yes I'll try and let them get lessons. I just wanna be sure that theres a ski sled/slide for kids just in case they dont enjoy the traditional ski. Link to post Share on other sites
ciotime 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Is Naspa better than Iwappura for kids? Link to post Share on other sites
ciotime 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sorry got the spelling wrong..I meant Iwappara. Link to post Share on other sites
ciotime 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ive checked and the name in Iwappara for kids is Kizzupaku...which is better compared to Naspa kids garden? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 cio, just get the kids started. They'll love it. They are also too big to go on the trays and tyres. At that age they'd probably go for boards. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I would guess Naspa. Iwappara is perhaps the perfect place for beginner skiers. But they are both better than Ipponsugi! Link to post Share on other sites
