Only 2 Spots Left! Day trip to SKI JAM, largest resort in Fukui!

It's the heart of the season! Let's ride together to the mountain with the most terrain to enjoy, SKI JAM. Plenty of courses for all levels. Check out this site for details on snow conditions, resort stats, and lift ticket options: http://www.snowjapan.com/japan-ski-resorts/fukui/katsuyama/ski-jam-katsuyama Looks awesome! The ski pass you want is up to you and not included. You can save some cash with the afternoon pass. There are other activities available for those not interested in skiing or snowboarding including sledding and hot spring spa (onsen). Please check the resort website for details.

Send the payment with PAYPAL to reserve your spot.

Bring your gear if you have it or rent it at the resort. You can rent anything you may need there, including clothes. The website with prices is here (Japanese): http://www.skijam.jp/winter/rental/

This time we are renting a big van to comfortably accommodate a nice group of snow seekers. If we leave Osaka at 6:00am we should arrive on the mountain around 9:30am. We can decide together on an exact departure time but should leave the resort by 5pm. Please note that traffic and weather may vary and times are only rough estimates.

Mr. Shirahama, our friendly driver, is safe and experienced in snowy conditions. We will limit the number of people so we have room for everyone's gear in the van. Feel free to bring your music or a DVD for the drive! We can make a stop at a highway rest area as desired. If you've never been to a rest stop in Japan, it's an experience in itself with some great, inexpensive food and interesting souvenirs for sale.

Pick-up location will be Umeda. Fee includes transportation from Osaka to the resort and back including van rental costs, insurance, gas, highway fees and parking, a Japanese-English speaking guide/translator, experienced driver, and great company!

Honestly, we just love to snowboard but dislike the impersonal and inflexible experience you get with big bus and tour companies. Bring your friends and let's make it a memorable experience for everyone. Let's go ride!
