It’s not always about the powder here in Japan. Sometimes you just want to test yourself on some of the long perfectly groomed runs that weave their way down the mountains here throughout the valley. First lifts are always best in my opinion. I am after first tracks on either powder or corduroy.  An early finish for a lazy onsen is my favourite way to enjoy the Japanese ski fields.
