Any good?

 

Seems that this season Kandatsu* will be open for '48 hours on the trot' from Friday night(s).

 

I remember some places in Western Japan opening overnight, doesn't sound too appealing to me.

 

(* personally I'd prefer it if they opened more than half the skijo on weekdays).

I think I'll give Kandatsu a miss this season, their weekday thing annoys me too much!

A feeling of desperation is what I get from them really - there seems to be a management change will they won't they every year.

I once climbed up a run under a clear full moon just before midnight, sat to catch my breath for a few minutes and then skied down.

Now that I remember it (thanks Muika) I can't understand why I don't do it often. It was wonderful.

I keep going on about Yeti these days... I've gone to their all night weekends. It was pretty fun but the focus wasn't on boarding ;)

I did the Yeti all nighta once and only once.......well, actually I only lasted to about 11. I didn't know they closed the "D" run at 10 and if that's closed then you really aren't there for the skiing/boarding as you mentioned.

I went to Kandatsu once for it's early open.

I think it was about 5am.

I was there thinking wft am I doing here, why did I not just wait until the normal opening time! :lol:

It wasn't snowing and hadn't so no new snow.

How busy was it that late on?

If that was a question to me about Yeti.... It gets pretty busy but as BM noted it's a young trendy boarder crowd. I left after 11 or so and there were still people coming....

If i remember right a few of the korean ski jo around Gangwon do are all night operations. High one also has a massive casino so you can get shit faced, lose all your money then go kill yourself on the slopes having a bit of an angry ski. If i quit japan again, im probably going to move there next i reckons. Turning up on an empty slope half cut sounds like a blast. :p

I've done some epic midnight full moon runs at Loveland Pass in Colorado. A few friends, a few beers, a few cars for the taxi run between the entrance and exit of the run.......Ahhh happy memories :)
