Anna84 0 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi anyone! I'm going to Japan with my university and am staying on for a week in mid-Dec. Have booked 3 nights in Hakuba. Can anyone give me any useful info for a 1st time tourist, 2nd time skier? Is it safe to ski alone? Thanks! Anna Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 of course it is safe to ski alone. rent good gear if you can make sure your skis are shaped. It will be easier to learn. Snowboard make sure its not too old for the same reason. dont worry have fun Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You'll be just fine. Myself and friend went to Japan for the first time last season and had a blast, it was an excellent experience. No worries at all. Enjoy1 Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 The ski resorts will open end of November, I'm sure that you can enjoy skiing there but maybe not so much snow yet in middle of December. Maybe... Enjoy2 Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I snowboarded for the first time in Hakuba alone, it hurt more than sex with a female ape, but none the less was safe. Enjoy3 Link to post Share on other sites
