sanjo 2 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Whats the quickest time you can be on the slopes from leaving your house? Doesn't matter which resort or how you get there, what's your quickest fix time? Mine is 60 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I was on my skis skinning up a road 10 minutes after leaving my apartment this morning And 5 of those minutes were spent getting my boots on For good resort skiing I'm just under an hour Link to post Share on other sites

sava 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yeah, I chose the over 10 hours option I guess it takes me about 15 hours door to door? Link to post Share on other sites

krotch 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 2 - 3 hours to Yuzawa by Shink. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 hmmm, In the good old days... home station - shinjuku station: 20mins change shinjuku - tokyo station: 25 mins change tokyo station for shinkansen: 30 mins closest resort by shinkansen: Gala Yuzawa 70mins? (never went there, but I went to Kagura etc which required a wait and a bus). I think the fastest I could have done it was 145 minutes. If I went to Hakuba rather than yuzawa it took and extra 80 minutes or so. These days happy days... Friday afternoon leave office to trainstation to airport: 60 mins Airport in Ldn to Airport in Milan, including checkin and wait time: 170 mins Get of plane, customs, bus from airport to Milan central to subway to tram to apartment: 130 mins Next morning, put board in car, drive rental car to nearest snow: 120 mins. No one needed that much detail. Just wanted to nail it home: You guys have it easy and deep! Link to post Share on other sites
krotch 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Ya, for me it's Fussa Station. Then get to Tokyo Station and hit the Shink to Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites

RockyV 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 assuming the road is good maybe 15mins from my house to Iizuna (unfortunaly I voted wrong) but I always drive an hour or so and go to Nozawa or somewhere else bigger and better than Iizuna. Link to post Share on other sites

You have an appartment in Milan?! YOU have nothing to complain about! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Apt in Milan: Yes, but as a result of a geographically split relationship. I'm certainly not complaining! it is a wonderful blessing for me given London's lack of everything that Milan has got, which includes but certainly not limited to: my gf, excellent food from the local street market, fresh slabs of buffalo mozzarella for breakfast every Saturday morning, amazing fresh olives*, buzzy people and access to so many countries and diverse cities and geographical places within 3 hours drive in any direction. And lets not forget the two legged visual pleasures, a unique by-product of northern Italian breeding. I like Italy a lot. No complaints at all. * Fresh olives: I have never had anything like these things in my life. They are green an moderately large and directly from the tree, not a jar. No salting or pickling or anything. Fresh like a grape. They crunch then melt in your mouth - pure olive oil. The best single thing I have ever eaten and I crave them all week.
