barok 0 Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 Here's a new poll for boarders. . . Which resort had the best park last year ? What about the best pipe ? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 believe it or not folks, but GALA Yuzawa has some good stuff up there. And that place at the side of the main Naeba resort is good - whats it called, asagai or something Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 I have always thought that Kijimadaira in Nagano looked after boarders well. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hi everyone...first time here, and like what I see. Good to "meet" you all. I will be in Nagano from next month....had heard that Dynaland had some decent boarding facilities over there. Anyone been? Link to post Share on other sites
DON 0 Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 i havent boarded in japan yet.. so i was wondering, japanese parks, are they good? i mean, where i am, in NZ, my local resort (Turoa) kept at least one kicky 30-40ft tabletop the whole season, that was the first time theyve kept something that big for longer than a couple of days. i know that aint big, those american parks have 60footers and plenty of them. its just that i dont really like it when people say fields have a good park and its just a bunch of rutted out flat 15footers ...lol is there variation? hips,stepdowns,spines,,rails,boxes, etc etc??

7-11 2 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hey any more tips on this issue folks?? Would like to hear more about other places myself..... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 You got a fat pipe or lots of patience ? If you have, Japan's most bloated website (www.yanaba.co.jp) will give you the skinny on the terrain park at Yanaba (just before Hakuba on R148). Small resort, dodgy cafe, but lots of jumps and rails. Last year, you could test ride the entire Burton collection there, and hopefully that will continue. No medics at the resort so it's a thirty minute drive to hospital if you get crocked, or at least so I've heard. That "Snowboard World Heights" place at Yamanouchi in Nagano has four pipes (one for private hire). I've not been though, and it looks very small. Link to post Share on other sites
paint_baller 0 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 hokkouda, by far. it offers some extreme runs, and if you think about it the price isent that bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 I'm with paint_baller on this one - hakkouda is wicked and deserves r-e-s-p-e-c-t Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 While Hakkouda (one of honshu's most northerly resorts) looks pretty good, it doesn't have a pipe or a park. Yep, nothing. Just lots of pow and offpiste-like tree runs. Many pipeheads have the wrong setups (short boards, duck stances) for serious pow. Floating's not their thing. Link to post Share on other sites
