IM 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I think the best way to start is to join a school sessions so that you can rent equipment before you decide to buy them. The only thing in common with alpine skiing in terms of equipment is the skis/poles. Boots/bindings are different. If you are a good alpine skier (can parallel on a fairly steep trails) you can master the basics in a couple of days of instructions. You can probably start with the following pages. There are many schools around Japan.
