It's open until middle-late May this year because of the huge snowfalls. Only a small place I hear, but when I'm in Tokyo next month thinking about taking a trip up there.

It is a small place, yeah, up in the mountains behind Koide town on the border with Fukushima. There's a big dam up there. Nothing special but not bad for late spring skiing though.

I know someone at the uni near there, so I'll be taking the trip Top #185 - Sat Apr 30 2005 08:34 AM Re: Okutadami green SJ'er with 200+ posts Registered: Fri Sep 06 2002 Posts: 245 Loc: near (enough) Tokyo How far is that place from Yuzawa? Top #186 - Sat Apr 30 2005 08:41 AM Re: Okutadami sanjo SJ'er with 1000+ posts Registered: Sun Mar 09 2003 Posts: 1260 Loc: Sanjo, Niigata Koide is about 40 minutes to the north of Yuzawa on Route 17 (probs half that by expressway). Then there's the ride up the Silver Line to Okutadami which probably takes about the same.

I'll give you a call tomorrow Top #188 - Wed May 11 2005 12:08 PM Re: Okutadami Middleman C Charbroiled 2 Gwenda SJ'er with 50+ posts Registered: Mon Feb 14 2005 Posts: 58 Loc: Osaka Went there with some friends then. A small place as people said, they reckon they have over 2 meters still left, didn't look like that in places but still a fair bit. It was about +8 degrees up there, not too busy. Interesting ride up to the resort from Koide town, it took a bit longer than I thought once we'd gotten to Yuzawa.

It was sunny all the way up to Saturday but come Sunday the weather moved in. Rained really hard down low and snowed pretty good up high. Now it's crystal clear again. I hate putting plans into 1 day like that.
