uggggllllyyyy 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 To date the hands down winner is Niseko followed by Niseko with Niseko running a close third. Then its Yuzawa and then Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've had about 25 sessions so far this year, and the snow has never been less than excellent. This morning at Onikobe it was -5C, shin deep powder over a smooth base. Absolutely perfect for me to drag out my very rusty powder technique from the box. It was like skiing in silk.

soubriquet 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yessir, that's me. I was stoked. Onikobe is small, but it's varied and challenging, with a nice hotel. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 soubriquet, you have a very pretty smile. Why don't you post some more pics of yourself* * I just don't want you to get all jealous of echineko, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Onikobe is in Miyagi, 40km NW of Furukawa. It's on the inside rim of a big caldera, so it's quite steep. It was developed by Mitsubishi on what seems a cost-no-object basis. It's always a little colder and drier than where I normally ski in Yamagata. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=116 Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd love to, Ocean11. I have a wide repertoire of facial expressions, but they are all identical, so I fear you would get bored. Link to post Share on other sites
