KlingKlang 1 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Can't think of any off-hand, but I kind of prefer names to A Course, B Course, C Course... Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 2 names I like are Hakuba Iwatake's Blue Ribbon & Sunny Valley course names. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think there's a legal requirement that every resort in Japan has a Shirakaba course Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think there's a legal requirement that every resort in Japan has a Shirakaba course As well as Skyline & Champions 1 Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Perhaps it's a regional thing. Can't think of any Skyline or Champions around these parts. How about Edelweiss. Gala has a few silly ones. Batman. Bronco. Roman Holiday. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Maiko has good ones GunGun ZokuZoku RanRan GuiGui RunRun SuiSui RakuRaku SanSan Oh, and Bambi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I remember both Naeba & Kagura having a Skyline course and maybe a Challenge course from my recent visit. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Really?! Shows how much I go there, I suppose. My apologies. Link to post Share on other sites
Aggro Crag 1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 There are too many, it's what makes the sport extra enjoyable. I like when lifts have goofy names too. However, I haven't really paid much attention to trail names in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Lots of Panorama Courses too Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yep sun meadows has a panarama lift but just boring letter courses. I do wonder who decided to use the names that they have for these courses and lifts. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 If I owned a skijo I'd name them after pies Steak Meat & Potato Cheese & Onion Steak & Kidney Pudding Chicken & Leak Ye Olde Mrs Miggins Traditional Steak And serve each at the restaurants. That'd get them piling in. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Romance. I just do not like that name for runs or lifts. You go expecting a nice romantic time and you are enevitably dissappointed. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And for the "No Name" lift that was (re)named "Swinging Monkey", whoever did this should die a thousand sword cuts. When suggestions were taken, I suggested "Swinging Ape" Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 ^ Niseko Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Why is it called Swinging Monkey? Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 that would be anyone's guess. But my guess would be that some corrupt idiots while drinking sake and singing in a karaoke bar while fondling each other thought it be amusing. In fact, you are morons. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Perhaps the lift swings about so much in the wind up there..... Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Milky Way at Kandatsu. Fun course. When they open it. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Almost that bad, yes. I stubbornly cling to the old Ltd designation. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 As I understand it, "Romance" actually indicates a connection to history - take the "romantic railway" at Arashiyama - the Sagano to Kameoka line which follows the old line. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I thought it was just a "pair" thing. Link to post Share on other sites
