rach 1 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I've never been there but I have seen it on the way in to Hakuba. Looks kinda small, nothing too exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 It's made up of three resorts. The southern most, Kashimari, has good nightas, some fun steep runs and often good powder as it's semi-roped off at crucial times. Next, Aoki lake resort. Fantastic scenery, good snow, easier runs toward the base, harder as you get higher. On great steep run, but kinda short. A mellow place with a great Italian resty at the bottom. Sunalpina, not so much terrain, but few people so snow stays good, great place to learn (back side has a long easy wide intermediate slope). The three share a common lift ticket, individually they have there merits, together they make up a large, interesting area with great atmosphere. On a busy weekend, I rate these resorts above the 'biggies' further up the valley. PS-most of each resort cant be seen from the road. Link to post Share on other sites
