JAPAN 2013/2014
Looks like I got lucky with Nozawa (may not have been there on a weekend can’t remember) It still felt like rush hour compared to Myoko but wasn’t anything like what you guys are saying.
Having said that I did get smashed one day in Myoko. It was the Japanese “coming of age” celebration. Out of nowhere hundreds of 20 year old Japanese hit town. I ended up going to 3 different mountains that day looking for a quite spot.
You definitely know its a weekend in Nozawa!!!!!
If I have any footage on the GoPro that I can dig up, I’ll post it in the next couple of weeks!!!!! ( Pretty busy at the mo)
This was taken at the gondola at Sugi on the busy day I was talking about. Visited a couple of other mountains after this and had a good chat with the bus driver before calling it off and heading to an onsen. Puked most days after this so I can’t complain! 
First time poster, lurked a while.

My girlfriend and I are all booked for a month in Nozawa starting on the 21st of December. Got a few other mates swinging by for 1-2 weeks while we’re there. Cant wait for daily face shots in the trees! To get everyone a little bit hyped, here is the edit we made when we spent a month in Nozawa in Jan 2012. Yeow!

And to contribute to the discussions of the funnest places to ride in Nozawa… I reckon the best lines within the resort are those lapped off challenger chair. Out of bounds far riders left is quite possibly the funnest place to shred in the world! Can’t wait!

Thinking of hiring a car for a week or so while we’re based at Nozawa and checking out Madarao, Shiga and Myoko - and maybe some fun to be had on the side of the road or in the nearby villages…
peeps, i can get tickets to japan for around 1050, good price or wait ?
