Leslie 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Chris, Im interested in XC skiing, but I only have skate skiis and need the wider groomed or snow-machine trails (do they even have snow machines in Japan?). I believe Im not that far from nagano. Have you been XC skiing there yet, what is it like? Im trying to find good areas with the trails I need. Leslie Link to post Share on other sites
CmWebb 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 Ya I guess I wasn't so specific. So I am learning to tele ski and I ski on a back-country tele ski cross. Which is to say they are fairly straight with out too much of the hour glass thing going on. I use a cable binding but back-country boots so they are a bit soft. I am hoping to pick up some hard boots but I am not sure where. I have mosty been skiing on hiking trails and mountain roads that are closed for the winter though I have skied up a few small mountains. Last week I went to Kamicochi. Good View. A lot of monkeys. I am hoping to go to Norikura sometime this winter as I hear there is fairly good skiing there. Chris Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Barlow 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Lots of monkeys? Were they skiing? Link to post Share on other sites
CmWebb 0 Posted January 10, 2003 Author Share Posted January 10, 2003 The monkey na they were just eating branches. Freaked me out a bit though. I had been hearing cracking sounds for a while but didn`t really pay attention and then I saw a baby monkey and then his mother and then...so anyway all of a sudden I noticed that I was surrounded by about 50 monkeys. They didn't seem so interested in me but I decided to have my lunck somewhere else though. Chris Link to post Share on other sites
