Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 If you are a beginner, maybe not worth going for riding alone (the views do make up for it though). The on course riding is decent but short except for a long run to the bottom. For the advanced rider with av gear there are some truly amazing runs that lead back to the long course to the bottom, just have to be careful of the river at the bottom of the runs. For the more casual advanced rider there are also some beautiful valley and ridge line runs that also lead back to the course and don't require all the av gear (though never a bad idea). The snow is also amazing. It gets some of the most consistent dry powder of any skijo south of Tohoku. On top of all this this crowds tend to go to Kawaba and Norn, leaving Tenjin pretty quite even on the 3 day weekends. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was able to knit a jumper for my nephew and some socks for my gran on the way up. And watch a movie and some episodes of Lost too! Ready to ski once I got up there! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 isn't Lost based on a ride up the mountain on the Tenjindaira Ropeway? Link to post Share on other sites
