Chris Osborne - Boarding Japan

Boarding Japan

Created on Friday, 24. February 2006.

First scuba diving and now snowboarding. I am steadily increasing my cool quota.

Pretty much every weekend I've been waking up at the crack of dawn (well, crack of dark, cold night) and heading of to one of the local sukiijo (ski run). Nearby Hiroshima-ken and Shimane-ken have some fairly decent runs including: Megahira, Osorakan (lit: scary place), Saioto, Mizuho, Daisen and Geihoku. The best ski/snowboard info site for Japan is http://www.snowjapan.com/e/ with daily snow reports and resort reviews.
