mattlucas 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sounds like a good route and fun to get to an onsen but 60 people? Seems like Japanese people have kind of lost the spirit of BC skiing Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have never skied Kusatsu but heard its a really flat resort area. It just has nice onsens. Sure somebody has been to give credit to that or discredit it. Link to post Share on other sites
