Jynxx 4 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Not that many. Naeba was home ground. Plane trip to Hokkaido, some trips to Shiga, Happo, Zao ... Manza and Kusatsu when I felt like, and anything along the Shin-Etsu train line (easy access-usually crowded) to check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 i voted for 1, hakuba, but i just realized i went to cortina as well. so that would be 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Shiga Kogen is difficult. It should be more than one, but surely not 21 even if you ski them all, some are tiny. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I reckon if it is on the same lift ticket it is ONE - but Niseko presents an issue there because you have a choice - All Mountain or 3 separate tickets (Grand Hirafu & Hanazono/Annupuri/Higashiyama). So for me it is either four or six 1. Grand Hirafu & Hanazono/Annupuri/Higashiyama 2. Rusutsu 3. Happo 4. Goryu/47 Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I think you can do the same for Shiga Kogen, certainly the nighta tickets only apply to the 1 area Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I have probably been to about 30. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Niseko counts as one; Shiga Kogen counts as one; Goryu/47 counts as one. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If you can buy one lift ticket for the whole complex, it's one. That simple. Shiga, Goryu/47. Back in the day, Sugadaira had about 8 or 10 different lift `owners' but it still counts as ONE. Same with Ishiuchi; same with Sannozaka/Aokiko/Sun Alpina. Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 As of yesterday, I've now skied in 1 place in Japan. Kurodake. Fingers crossed we get some decent snow soon, so that number can increase! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 So, tell us more! Where are you photos? http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/389414/GUIDE_Uploading_photos_to_Snow.html Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 MagSeven......you can't say that and not post photos, especially since we are all snow starved and chomping at the bit to get out.... Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Sorry guys! Fairly new to the site so not quite up to scratch on posting photos - apologies! Leaving work in about 20 mins, so will try and get a couple of photos up when I get home. There's a Kurodake thread floating around somewhere, so I'll bump that to keep things on topic.
