METAL 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am planning a 6 nights in Hakuba area. Other than that, all up in the air. I want to check Zao out, but I seem to say that every year and don't end up going. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want to hit up Moiwa to give it a try. You don't hear much about it compared to the big brothers. Also lookin to hit up Rusutsu. Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want to hit up Moiwa to give it a try. You don't hear much about it compared to the big brothers. Also lookin to hit up Rusutsu. Moiwa is pretty good. go through gates at top of chair and traverse along ridge and drop in down to creek. nice. or go skiers left and down that gully . but make sure you cut back in left about half way down. or you won't get out.

ippy 66 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If its your first time, just go to niseko. I know it gets dogged on for being the obvious choice sometimes, but if i wanted to blow my mates heads off who could ride a bit but never experienced japan id send them there. Whats not to like? Big resort, awesome nighta, good apres, lots of varied pitches and terrain, fun slackcountry, mad powder? Ticks all the boxes for the ride. If you have only a week or two and want to go kyoto and tokyo though, then go nagano (go nozawa and hakuba probs - and maybe myoko). If its a couple of days and youre flying into tokyo, go yuzawa. If you want a quiet peaceful japanese onsen experience, sit around yudanaka, go to the snowmonkeys, obuse (small town), shiga kogen, and nozawa. All your base.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ajax 0 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Have spent 13 weeks skiing Nozawa so have got to know the village, the mountain and it's sweet spots pretty well but off to Niseko this season for a change for a month. Hope I won't be disappointed . Link to post Share on other sites
