Special Tours kick off June 1st

The Special Tours get underway with a trip to Deer Canyon this weekend. It is tour for repeat customers as most of these full day trips involve more thrills than the half day versions.

Deer Canyon is over in the Kusatsu area and has plenty of vertical as well as some amazing sliders.

The Special Canyon Team are running Deer on 1st/2nd of June, and 8th/9th June. Spaces are limited so round up your friends that have been canyoning before and get ready for an amazing day of adventure.

Christmas at GALA

Blue skies for Christmas Day at GALA this morning. Stunning views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. The clouds are gathering in the distance so there is still the chance of a White Christmas. It snowed all yesterday so great conditions out on the hill.

Some festive folk hitting the slopes today.

GALA Yuzawa preparations

GALA Yuzawa are put the finishing touches on the resort and getting ready to open their doors on Saturday 22nd December for another long season that should see them open until Golden Week - weather permitting.

We'll be there this year offering group and private lessons in English.

The desk is just opposite the main ticket counters so should be pretty easy to find. (It's also opposite the crepe shop which could turn into an expensive addiction!) Swing on by and say hi if you're there. I'll be the one with chocolate sauce and cream round my mouth.
