RobBright 35 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Caught an edge, flipped, bruised ribs. Alcohol has worn off and now hungover and have bruised ribs. Fun. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Look forward to hearing more of you impressions. And cheese pics of course! How was the phone box looking? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Took the train and could just about see the top from the train window. So depending on your view, its either buried or not. Once I have somehow crawled upstairs, the cheese pics will go up. Was amazed how convenient the train was for joetsu kokusai. dumps you at the front door. Also picked up the "happy my birthday" pass and was apparently the first foreigner to get one and had to wait 30mins because of it. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Good stuff. Yes JK train is very convenient hey. Isn't the station called Joetsu Kokusai Skijo Mae. Having said that, the Iwappara station has a similar name but it's a walk from there to the skijo.... Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Cool. Did you enjoy cutting through down the wiggly RakuRaku course bits on the right hand side? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah, that was fun. Although at one point, I did think riding my long board was a mistake to make. My friend saw me disappear over the edge and got a bit worried until I pelted him with a snowball. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 How busy was the ropeway line? I try to avoid the ropeway and usually spend most time on that top pair. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wasn't so bad, and was surprised on how quick it is to the top. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes it is very fast isn't it. Whizzes up there, almost looks like it's in fast-forward mode! Link to post Share on other sites
