pickled mushhead 0 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 My plan is not really a plan at the moment like others, other than to try and get out as much as possible this winter. A fair way off but excited that cooler temps are on their way. Link to post Share on other sites
gooble 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 No plans just day dreams. That I hope will become plans. Link to post Share on other sites

MagSeven 40 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Going for 100 days this winter! Will be starting up at Kurodake from as soon as there's snow. Main part of the season will be around the Sapporo and Asahikawa area, with a few trips down to Niseko, Rusutsu etc. Then finishing off up in Taisetsuzan for as long as the snow lasts. Hopefully a few stupid but fun patch skiing missions as late as July! Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Im at that annoying time of year to switch jobs. My last pay cheque was mid august, and my next one is november 1st. So byebye savings and no time to recover them before boarding season. So this year might end up blowing for me Likely ill be in nagano though. Maybe a few weekends to nozawa since its possibly a bit easier to hit up than hakuba. Im definitely hitting up ryuoo though sometime when the powder hits. Id love to see that place when its swimming. Hakuba might be the trickiest out of the lot i truth since it requires an early bus from nagano station. So chances are its myoko, yuzawa and nozawa for me. (oh and a trip to niseko in early jan before school restarts for winter term, and maybe (actually definitely) again in march after it breaks up following graduation). Busy and messy season this time Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Surely Yuzawa followed by Minakami will be easiest for you from there. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 im dead keen on hitting yuzawa. I almost wet myself when i saw it posted on the kumagaya shink board. But i have a thing for myoko and nozawa, so if im making a weekend of it, ill probably just head there. I dont knwo a thing about minakami, but now you mention it inm off to research it. Everyone ive talked to here about snowboarding all go to gunma, but they all say it with the qualifier that its not as good as nagano/niigata, but as i say, im dead keen on finding new places to ride so thanks Link to post Share on other sites
