tokabochi 9 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I see today in the local news that Gala Yuzawa have that 350m course open over summer, the one that they usually open early ski season when snow is touch and go. I bet it would be fun on a sweltering summers day up there. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Take pics! Marunuma does that too. The bag jump park at Gala also looks like fun. As does the water jump at Listel. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Do you take normal skis on there or you need to rent them? Not that I'll be going but... Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wonder if there are some special shinkansen deals going on? Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That would be nice, particularly as I've now been here for 2 years and have still not been on a bullet train! Link to post Share on other sites
