muikabochi 208 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You should be. If you are going to Naeba, you will be going past the legendary Mt Granview, and my house too as well as SJ World HQ. If you are gnarly enough and have enough time and want the challenge, hike it! http://www.snowjapan...ing-mt-granview Link to post Share on other sites
Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Fuji Rock and Mt. Granview Is Nukabira Gensenkyo your local skijo? Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's not a local skijo for me, I'm further west. It's probably not local for anyone really, it's very remote! It's in the middle of the mountains north of Obihiro. I drove through it a couple of summers ago and thought it looked interesting. I'd like to check it out in the winter sometime, but it's such a mission to get to! Link to post Share on other sites
Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Does look interesting. If you go, tell us about it Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Fuji Rock is great........but I think if I went back I'd try and get a hotel room rather than camp. The weather was awesome the year I went, sunny and hot....which is great for sitting drinking cold beer watching bands BUT not so good for sleeping past sun rise!! My mates have been when it's torrential rain and that does not look line fun Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Do we know headliners for this year yet? Just looked no we don't seem to. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If you want a hotel room I recommend booking now! Fuji Rock turns Naeba into a city. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It turns the Naeba area from a ghost town into a city and back into a ghost town in the period of a week! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If you want a hotel room I recommend booking now! Fuji Rock turns Naeba into a city. Yeah I know......Im not going back though The Prince gets booked out and keeps it going through winter Link to post Share on other sites

Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Charmant Yes it is. Had a feeling you might get that one Black Mountain. Might not make it this year but really want to go! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I recognised that annoying cat track that runs through the middle of the course. I'll post one in a few hours. Off to the gym now to buff up Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's probably going to be well obvious - but what does 'cat' track mean? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 the small track or course that often gets labelled a green run to bring beginners down from the upper mountain.........Its usually about the width of a road and littered with noobs falling over. I assume its named "cat track" in reference to the snow cat grooming machines that may or may not use these tracks for getting around the mountain Link to post Share on other sites
