dizzy 0 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 very impressive, slow! i've never tallied them up before. i know i haven't been to 50 resorts in japan, but this is the 50th reply to this thread -Hokkaido- Teine Highland/Olympia Sapporo Kokusai Kiroro Niseko (does this count as 1 or 5?) Rutsusu a staircase railing behind my house Furano Asahidake Hidaka Kokusai Kamui Ski Links someplace in Tokachi i can't remember the name of -Fukui- Ski Jam (love that name -Gifu- Washigatake Takasu Snow Park Hyogo- the indoor place--SNOVA? Cooval? -Gunma- Tenjindaira -Nagano- Hakuba 47/Goryu Happo-One Nozawa Onsen -Niigata- Arai Myoko Kogen (1 or 3?) Ishiuchi Maruyama Maiko Korakuen Gala Yuzawa Kagura/Mitsumata/Naeba Pine Ridge Kandatsu 25 for me. or add 10 more depending on how you count. it all depends on how you count resorts in japan...is it a mountain you are skiing on or a business you're using? by number of businesses, japan has the most ski resorts of any country in world. i've heard something close to 700. a case in point is FT's favorite place, Niseko: although it's one mountain, you have to buy 3 lift tickets (their "all-mountain" pass) if you want to ski the whole mt. and hakuba 47 / Goryu are technically different resorts even tough they're on the same mountain.

kintaro 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 24 so far Most memorable: Hakkoda - Aomori: Spooky VERY nasty weather! I couldn't help but think of those Japanese soldiers who died up there as I struggled to make it down. Appi Kogen- Iwate: Broke my leg Hachimantai - Iwate: My first jump off a small cliff and one-make Zao Onsen - Yamagata: Tree monsters! Dynaland - Gifu: Saw my first bear/deer (kamoshika?) I also wittnessed a massive crash between two snowboarders. They were both medivac'd out. I bought my helmet later that night. Arai - Niigata: First snowboarding ever. I wore adidas running pants, a Yankees jacket and laboratory goggles (borrowed). I must have looked hillarious. Link to post Share on other sites
