mattlucas 0 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The only english book that I have seen isn't very good I think the title is "Ski Japan" Other may use it and find it useful though Link to post Share on other sites

TJ OZ 0 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Board The World is a good reference book. It has a few Japenese resorts in it. Not sure if they have updated it lately so some of the info might not apply. For instance my copy says boarders are not allowed on the upper areas of Happone which no longer applies.

sakebomb 0 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Why not look here it has plenty of information and reviews from people who have actually been to the resort. I know it isn't a book magazine but it is quite informative. Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the resort reviews are off but if you can find people that liked a resort and seemed to be of your ability then maybe give it a second look. Link to post Share on other sites
