Markie 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Yeah, I've heard of Kamui Ski links but didn't know they had the dryest powder. How long does there season last? Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I booked Hokkaido trip today and decided to go to Rusutsu and Teine Highland this time. It'll be the last Hokkaido ski in this winter. I really hope we'll have great snow and nice weather!! So I can't go to the snowball party but have a great time, everybody!! Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Furano deserves a mention. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Does it? You never hear as much about Furano do you? Maybe because it is much more out of the way? If Furano were in Nagano, would it get much more attention than it gets now, being up there in Hokkaido? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 The reason why we probably won't be doing Hokkaido for our trip to Japan is that it seems to have the "amazing" Niseko, but not much else. Looks like it will be Nagano for us. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 There is more than Niseko BOC, just not talked about nearly as much as Niseko itself. That place seems to overshadow everything else in the area. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well let me point out that that post was from March 2003, so a full 6 years ago when I was first interested in Japan and didn't know much at all. I think since then I have learnt that to be very much a misunderstanding, even though I have yet to go to Hokkaido. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 It is good that people can learn more about different place. I think from now more place become known which is good thing. Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'll back up JaySee - Kamui Ski links has some nice powder and trees, and the ski patrol has a relaxed attitude. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pplus no on-site accommodation, so you HAVE TO travel to get there. Either from Asahikawa (which is only a short trip) or from Furano, it makes a longish day trip but, as keba said, it is worth it for the pow, trees and "see it, ski it!" attitude. Had a ball there Jan 08 having traded one day of our Furano ticket for a coach ride to KJamui and a day sliding there (oh, and coach back again! ) Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Pow 52 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Kurodake (Sounkyo) is the Las Lenas (Argentina) of Hokkaido. When it's good, it's very, very good. When it's bad, it's closed. Link to post Share on other sites

D train 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 agreed MikePow- but for me- its the one place that haunts my thoughts ever since ive been there. I guess my take on this very subjective question is that I am looking at it from the " best sex you`ve ever had " type of frame work. We have all had good relationships, and partners that were consistenly good in bed and fun, etc. - but Sounkyo is that crazy, fickle bitch that made me see God and opened my eyes to both myself and what is out there. I lust for Sounkyo. I dont lust for Kamui. Link to post Share on other sites
