I'm off to fukushima to meet a friend in Feb, wondering the best places to go. He lives not too far from Bandai region.

So how do you pronounce that name then, 9f.... :p

How about Ura-bandai Nekoma or Inawashiro?

[boardbaka]

you should go to Gran Deco if it is snowing..(or has snowed in the days prior to you going).There is some great under the lifts and tree riding there..

I once went cross country skiing around Inawashiroko. Don't know about the downhill out there, though.

[Q]

Inawashiro, Alts Bandai, Grandeko

Check out the reviews and journals on this site for views on fuku-stuff.

They are some of the more popular ones. Perhaps he'll be close to Alts Bandai, decent place.

[grungy-gonads]

Whats the snow generally like up there?

[9frtg3xRj07ju3f5hDfeQw]

I think it is quite close to Alts Bandai - we shall see! Thanks.

I don't reccomend Nekoma for boarders. It's either too steep or too flat. As Boardbaka said, I like Grand Deco. Bandai is good too. I really like the Fukushima snow. It's a higher elevation than most of Tohoku and it's far enough from Kanto that it's generally not very crowded.

Enjoy

I'm off to Alts Bandai at the weekend with a group of Japanese friends.

[scoobydoo]

Grandeko would get my vote as well.

I've found out he lives about 20km from Alts so thats where it will be. Next weekend so hopefully good timing with the snow and all.
