nebjamino 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hey guys, I'm trying out 3 different ski resorts in Niigata this weekend (Sat, Sun, Mon) Sat - Nakasato Kiyotsu Sun -Cupid Valley、 Mon - Charmant Hiuchi I'll be travelling around by train. If anyone wants to join in, even if it's only for 1 day, please post below. Cheers, nebjamino. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Can't imagine why you are going to Nakasato Kiyotsu - did you get a free ticket or something? Link to post Share on other sites
nebjamino 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 is it that bad? I just had a quick glance of the trail map and thought it might be interesting to check out for the day? Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well, if you are coming by train - presumably via Echigo Yuzawa - then pretty much anywhere in Yuzawa or Shiozawa is more interesting and more convenient. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 ....and if coming in on train via Nagano, Nozzle awaits! Link to post Share on other sites
nebjamino 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Ill be coming from Niigata-shi...but ok... I guess you guys are convincing me to make a slight change to my plans haha. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If I were you, I'd probably do Myoko + Charmant.... presuming that you want to do Charmant. Or do this area and then go over there via HokuHoku. But I'm not you of course and don't know what you specifically want etc. Link to post Share on other sites
nebjamino 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I know its a lot of inconvenient training around...but I might change it up like this. Saturday - Cupid Valley Sunday - Cortina (Naoetsu >> Itoigawa >> Minami-Otari) Monday - Charmant. I like skiing powder, but I'm happy to not be trying Japans biggest and best (e.g Nozawa) this weekend. This is more of an exploring trip. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I like skiing powder, but I'm happy to not be trying Japans biggest and best this weekend.... Good idea. Leave Mt Granview for a few days on it's own. It deserves it! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Seems like a ton of traveling to me... for example, it would be about three hours to get from Minami Otari to Charmant (probably +4 if conditions are bad). It's 45 mins from Nou station to Charmant at the best of times. I'd pick places that are closer together. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I was about to say that. Why the need for places so far away from each other? I hate the travelling part though so the thought of all that training really puts me off. Link to post Share on other sites
