Togakushi Ski Resort, Tsugaike Ropeway and a day on our own private resort.

This week we jump in the car and take a road trip over to Togakushi. There was a slopestyle competition on and a bunch of the Hakuba local crew were involved so I thought I would join in on the fun. Not my style of riding but happy to spectate and cheer. Togakushi is a great little resort with some amazing views looking back over towards Hakuba to the west. It is about 90 minutes away and I recommend taking the longer route through Nagano along the Olympic Road. Google Maps will want to take you along the 406 road but just be aware that it is very tight and winding road and will be even more difficult if it is snowing heavily. There won’t be much difference in traveling time. I have been there before and really enjoy the terrain. It is probably 75% skiers there.
This week the Tsugaike Ropeway opened up. A great little adventure for everyone. There is a groomed trail that will bring you right back to the resort.
I had a morning session with six year old AJ2 at Iimori. The place is deserted midweek and it really did feel like our own private resort.
All in all a fun week in the Japanese snowfields
Thanks for watching and please throw in a comment. Would love to know what you think and what you would like to see in future vids.
See you next week

This weeks drink of choice was a B52 Shot. Took me back in time to another era. We do still get the occasional order of a round of shots of this popular 90s concoction.
