base40 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I would never have thought of skiing down there... what't it like? Link to post Share on other sites
talisker 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 well its crap. the runs are short and patrol are nazis. the best runs are closed( trees) and if it snows all of Hiroshima ken go skiing on a run it takes about a minute to get down - I love the place! Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Talisker - have you skiied Mizuho, 5 mins across the border in Shimane? Not exactly Hakuba or Niseko BUT some fine sliding can be had there. Short courses? The shortest there is about 1km, longest 3.6km - Herminator couldn't scratch that in 1 min. And there's plenty of variation and levels in between. This year nearing April and they still have well over 2m @ the top and 1 - 1.6m elsewhere. Also I've had a good blast at Osorakan. You could do worse. We can't all surf Cactus.

talisker 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 snobee- Osorakan is the best quality snow. Kokusai offers a bit more variety than Mizuho Mizuho is right on the expressway so it gets a lot more people. Also, when I skied at Kokusai, a lot of friends bought individual tickets but only gave them up when they were asked - usually skied free all day! Kokusai was my backyard so I always went there - Mizuho was too far away. Kokusai sucks but it was where I leazrned my trade sigh.... Link to post Share on other sites
