Skiing at Nagano was absolutely fabulous. Nagano was the site of the 98 Olympics and it is an enormous cluster of ski resorts. Imagine a complex 3 times the size of Killington, Vermont. The quality of skiing reminded me of my experience at Steamboat in Colorado. The abundance of snow is light and fluffy and it feels like you are skiing on clouds. Everything about skiing in Japan is similar to The West although there are some minor differences. For one, they blast pop music at the gondolas and chairlifts, which can be a little annoying for someone who appreciates the peaceful nature of muffled sound caused by the surrounding snow ..something I prefer. You also wear a sensor on your ski pass that passes you through the gates and onto the lift.
