Japan Snowboarding - Hakuba


First Snowboarding trip to japan :D

We stayed in Hakuba for 7 nights and snowboarded mainly on the Happo One and Hakuba47 beginner trails since they were awesomely windy and long :D

you can see the beginner trails in green on the right.


trail maps here:

we mainly did the bottom half of the winding trails since there were less people on them. Then went up the gondola/skilifts to the top for lunch and went down from the upper half of the beginnger trails that joines up with the lower winding trail :D

Our hotel where we were staying at was within walking distance (3mins) to the happo one sakka 2 ski lift. Also our hotel gave free lifts in the hotel minivan to the main ski-lift/ticket center in happo one in the mornings between 9-9:30am.
