Here's a view of the Shiga kogen area. The great thing about Shiga is how big it is. It consists of about six or seven different peaks. For backcountry and terrain though, Nozawaonsen is better.
The super-G course from the 1998 olympics is at Shiga. I crashed really hard on it while going full speed. My nose decided to bleed all over the slope. Fortunately, I always wear a helmet, as everybody should.
Here's a picture of our campsite on top of Madarao mountain. I went with Brian from Ireland and Derrick from Colorado. We hiked up the mountain in the evening, camped on top, and then glided down in the morning.
This is looking south from Yomase ski-jo just northeast of Nakano city.
What I love about snowboarding is that everyday is filled with small victories.
