farquah 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Where abouts is that? Easy access by car? Am in Gifu area next weekend for a party and may check it out sunday as a mate wants to learn how to board and it may be good to start him early before i get too frustrated wanting to go elsewhere when it all opens!!

mattlucas 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 It's just off the expressway in the Takasu area Looked like many of the hills in that area are going to be opening a little run very soon. Would be good for you as your not wasting your time trying to teach somebody on a powder day but not sure how safe it would be to learn with how busy the runs are Link to post Share on other sites

quattro 1 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I managed to get a day at Sapporo Kokusai this weekend first time in Japan. They had a few trails open up top and one that was a little to dirty for my likings down to the bottom. Did not see any snow cannons so I will assume it was natural. All in all it was good to get some skis on and make a few turns. Link to post Share on other sites

BulbFish 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I wish Kagura would get some snow on it's head. I heard it was open right at the beginning of November 8 years or so ago. Link to post Share on other sites
