neversummer 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Heading to Yuzawa tomorrow morning and want to know where is best to ride. 1st time this season but want something challenging.. Link to post Share on other sites
Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 The only real choices open to you right now are Kagura, Naeba, GALA, Kandatsu and Iwappara. The only place fully open is Kagura and that is probably your best bet if you are going tomorrow - in terms of snow and also choice of runs open. It shouldn't be too busy either. There isn't a huge amount of snow down at town level yet and apart from Kagura, the places mentioned above are all only part open. We haven't been out in Yuzawa yet, so this is all only going on what others have said and info from the resorts. Hope you have a good time out there... Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Until the season really gets going up there, I'm pretty sure you should be thinking Mitsumata-Kagura - you're best bet. Link to post Share on other sites

MalcolmB 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Sounds like the places is losing out early on to Hakuba and the like. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Looks like it's having a nightmare start to the year, esp compared to other main places. Decent place to go when the snow's good though. Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 not as busy as i had been told but still good to get some miles into the legs. snow was really soft by late afternoon but some fun rails to hit made up for that. just waiting for the powder to come and may be heading to hakuba once the season gets underway.

white-void 0 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Good to hear it wasn't as busy - probably because other resorts have opened up in the area. Hohoho Link to post Share on other sites
