cayote 0 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Can anyone comment on the relative snowboarding merits of Tanigawadake and Kagura during Golden Week this year? I went to Kagura mid-March, and the lower runs were becoming a bit slushy by 2PM. I haven't been to Tanigawadake - it would be a shorter trip for me. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Golden Week is best spent curled up at home with a loved one with some good dvds. Then make the most of the week after or before when places arent crazy busy. Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 You've only got a few choices so you can't be too picky. Hakuba Goryu/47 may still be open and Happo-One is usually open til GW. If you're situated close by go there. I hit up Shiga Kogen last GW and it was pretty pathetic...skating through bamboo fields while dodging dirt patches and rocks. Although '01~'02 season didn't see much snowfall, I remember Tashiro/Kagura wasn't bad at all for GW. If you feel the need to go out of the way then give Okutadami Maruyama a try. But I heard it was crowded and icy up there last season. Hope this helps. P.S. you WILL get slush anywhere you go Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I'd rather not go than be confronted by that kind of thing. It just spoils it. Wait until next season. Link to post Share on other sites
