Mudguts 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've snowboarded in alot of places in Japan and I'd say that Happo-one has an all mountain consistently steep terrain. What are the other steep resorts in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites

tsondaboy 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 you are asking about steeps inbounds or off piste? Link to post Share on other sites
0151 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I heard Kijimadaira in Nagano had one of the steepest. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Try Cortina Giant course. The angle is 42, I hear. Link to post Share on other sites
dyna8800 3 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Regarding inbounds, reported ski runs, Kandatsu has one run with 45 degree, as well as Kitajimadaira. Cortina is "only" 42 degrees. There are about 3 other resorts with 45 degree slopes, but I don't have that information at hand. Will post after I dig it up. Link to post Share on other sites
