ttuchin 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We are staying in Happo/Wadano and the pub does a great Japanese pancake Okonomi. Happo and Hakuba 47 favourite mountains, former better fro skiers, latter great back country fro snowboarders (from what I ahve been told I sk). Have also heard that Uncle Stevens Mexican and Hie Japanese in Echoland are great restaurants. The bars in Echoland are good too from what we hear Have a great time Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The Happo is better for skiers is a bit of a myth. Happo wont take your pass for sking in most of the trees, goryu/47 will take your pass. Link to post Share on other sites
ttuchin 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 good point, I stick to the groomed runs and for that Happo has more options but did not occur to me that one8s might be a tree skier....I am not game to do the trees....dont have good enough travel insurance!

keba 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 ttuchin, the trees are where it's at... get in amongst them, they aren't as intimidating as you think (unless they're really tight and steep, then you could be in trouble). Thanks for the tip FT, I love the trees, and love having a lift pass too... Link to post Share on other sites
