If you're a boarder, stay away from this place - it is really flat so if there is a lot of powder you're in trouble, and the top lift is closed to boarders as they reackon it's too narrow at the top so boarders would have trouble. Pretty stupid if you ask me, although if your a skier it would be relly nice - no boarders to bother you, plus it looks fairly step and challenging.
I like Takatsue...and it has wonderful potential...if only they would run the lift going to the top..its always closed, yet has at least 1/3 of the mtn vert...anyway, the tree riding is superb with good snow when I was there, and there is an awesome cut trail that has been abandoned by the resort, which means fresh lines all day after a 10min hike...deceptively big, but most of the resort is not worth riding...stick to the top areas and have
