alexeiw123 2 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah, it would be great to meet up with a fellow SJ'er for a ski, just the missus and I going, she's fairly beginner so i might be laying a few tracks on my own at times. oh.

gozaimaas 61 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm based just outside Sapporo and will get the K Winter Pass again this year. Teine is my regular haunt, with occasional trips to Rusutsu/Niseko, and also up to Kamui and Ashidake/Kurodake. What is the k winter pass? I am going to all those spots you mentioned. Its a season pass covering 5 ski jos; Teine, Nakayama Touge, Rusutsu, Sahoro and Mt Racey. Not super cheap at 7 man, but works out at good value if you're riding all season. Nakayama generally opens mid Nov and both Nakayama and Teine close at the end of Golden Week, snow permitting. Info here in Japanese, but you can stick it through an online translator and get the gist of it. http://www.kamori.co.jp/kwp/ I just paid for my K winter pass, cost me AU$957.15 If I ride every day it works out to AU$24 a day or JPY1750 The cutoff date is november 10 Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Nice gozaimaas! I'm heading up to Teine myself next weekend to pick up my K-pass. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I cant wait lol. I seen some footage of my racey side country which looked fantastic, Im also keen to check out the top section of teine. Can you get out to the side of the "north wall" run? It looks like it would be nice tree riding out there. Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Can you get out to the side of the "north wall" run? It looks like it would be nice tree riding out there. Ohhhh yes. Skiers left along that ridge you can go as far as you like. Bowl after bowl. You're only limited by how much of a traverse you can handle to cut back to the chair. Give me a shout if you're planning to hit Teine at a weekend. Chances are I'll be up there. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I've decided to take a trip up to Zao this year for perhaps 3 nights. The monsters seems to be their best in mid February and sometimes quickly deteriorate late Feb / early March. So perhaps thats the best time. Weekday of course. Link to post Share on other sites

surfarthur 22 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not too sure on details yet kokodoko, thinking of just checking Sapporo out before we head out to Rusutsu, but maybe a day at Teine would be good. Not too sure, but maybe a day trip to Niseko from Rusutsu is on the cards, I think I owe you a beer still Link to post Share on other sites
