Kansaiash, hi there.

How were White Pia and Ski Jam? They are in Gifu, right?

If you have any pics you could share, please do!

Keen to hear more as I hope to get Gifu way this winter.

 

White Pia is in Gifu and Ski Jam is in Fukui.

 

When I went to White Pia it was my 2nd day of boarding and I spent most of the day on my backside so I dont have so many great memories of the place. One of the reasons why I went there was because they have morning skiing so the lifts start around 5am which worked out nicely considering the overnight bus arrived at 4:30. I think I have some photos and Ill try and get them uploaded for you.

 

Ski Jam was a completely different experience. The resort is much bigger and we had some fresh snow when we arrived. I would recommend ski jam over white pia. These are some photos I took on my iPhone at SkiJam

I'll be heading to Gifu a few times this season also so if I find any other great places I'll let you know.

For me, I'm going by unique day passes I've bought... On mountains with joined resorts I often have no idea which resort area I'm at.

 

But not that many mountains really have "joined resorts", do they?

Shiga Kogen....

Hakuba 47/Goryu....

what others?

I know Norikura and Cortina are... and I think there maybe more linked in there... I'm sure there are more but none come to mind.

Interesting comment that, I'm totally interested in knowing exactly where I am and what everything is called.

 

I really want to be the same. Beginning this year I am going to try harder to figure out where, keep the names of resorts and runs somewhat straight in my head... that's one of the reasons I'm going to focus on a few resorts this year... in the past seasons it's been more of a joining people that I am loosely associated with and following them around (snow clubs, mixi clubs, work clubs, friends of friends)... this year I've got a nice core group and I'm driving.
