JAPAN’S 

MOUNTAINS: 

TIPS 

FROM ODR 

STAFF 

Japan’s ideal winter weather and snow make it a popular skiing and snowboarding 

destination for riders from all over the world. Luckily for Yokota, the snow powder 

— affectionately nicknamed “J-Pow” — is just a drive away. Gain some insight from 

Yokota Outdoor Recreation’s (ODR) ski and snowboard instructors — 

Matt, Fenton, Yoshi and Kuni. 

GEAR UP 

Besides the obvious essentials 

such as a snowboard or skis 

and boots, you’ll need highquality 

ski goggles that won’t 

fog up. Comfortable socks 

(preferably wool) and warm, 

waterproof gloves are clutch for 

keeping warm. Wear spandex or 

leggings and a fast-drying shirt 

underneath your waterproof 

jacket and ski pants. 

Try boots on before renting or 

buying them. Boots that are 

small or too large will cause foot 

pain and make skiing or 

snowboarding difficult. 

ODR rents out all sorts of quality 

ski and snowboard gear at an 

unbeatable price. 

STAY POSITIVE 

It’s important to have the right 

mindset when hitting the slopes 

for the first time. You won’t be 

Shaun White after your first 

lesson. “By the end of the day 

you will not be going over jumps. 

You will not be doing rails or 

pipe ... Know that you’re going to 

fall and you have to be okay with 

that,” Matt coaches. The truth is, 

you’re guaranteed to fall your first 

day — multiple times. 

Still, the challenge is fun and 

gliding down a slope for the first 

time is invigorating. Rather than 

harping on your mistakes, stay 

positive and enjoy the 

new experience. 

BE SAFE 

Skiing and snowboarding can be 

dangerous if you’re not careful. 

Even ODR’s ski and snowboard

MATT SILVIA 

RECREATION ASSISTANT 

SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTOR 

Matt grew up skiing 

in the northeast and 

eventually transitioned 

over to snowboarding as 

a teenager. 

FENTON FITZGERALD JR. 

DIRECTOR 

SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTOR 

Fenton started skiing 

when he was 12. His 

friends convinced him to 

try snowboarding and he 

instantly fell in love with 

the sport. 

instructors have had their share of 

scrapes and bruises while riding. 

ODR staff highly recommend 

ski helmets and that riders stay 

away from trees and rocks. Yoshi 

always tells his students, “Trees 

are not your friend.” 

Consider your experience level 

and physical abilities before 

going down a tricky slope or 

attempting a difficult trick. And 

if you feel yourself falling, do 

it safely! Avoid falling on your 

wrists as they’re prone to breaks 

and fractures. When skiing, it’s 

best to fall sideways on your 

hip. Snowboarders should fall 

forwards onto their forearms or 

backwards on their behind. 

TAKE LESSONS 

Improve by leaps and bounds 

with lessons. Learning from a 

professional instructor will also 

prevent bad habits from the start. 

ODR offers lessons on many of 

their trips. When you sign up, 

simply let the staff know you’re 

interested in taking a lesson for 

a small extra fee. Many of the ski 

resorts also offer intermediate 

and advanced lessons in English. 

HAVE FUN 

Skiing and snowboarding are 

great ways to get outside and 

explore Japan’s beautiful winter 

season. Plus, gliding on top of 

the snow as you ride down a 

mountain is pure fun. As Kuni so 

mildly puts it, “There’s nothing 

better to do in the winter so you 

might as well ski.” 

JUNJI KUNIMATSU (KUNI) 

TOUR GUIDE 

SKI & SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTOR 

Kuni started skiing 

at the age of four. He 

travelled as a snowboard 

professional and taught 

at ski resorts around the 

world before settling back 

down in Japan. 

YOSHIMASA

Yoshi has skied since 

he was a child. Yoshi 

loves skiing in powder

ALL JAPAN’S 

FESTIVALS 

IN ONE 

At Furusato Matsuri Festival 

Sat & Sun • 12 & 20 Jan 

Cultural Connection 

Thousands flock to Tokyo Dome every year to get their festival fix during the 

winter off-season. Furusato Matsuri is a festival made up of many mini festivals 

representative of different regions in Japan. 

Look up to see hundreds of paper lanterns floating high in the sky — a spectacle 

typically held in Akita, Japan. Witness the pulling of giant samurai and kabuki themed 

floats from the Nebuta Festival, held in Northern Japan’s Amori Prefecture. Or watch 

performers from the Yosakoi Festival dance with their “naruko” (wooden clapping 

instruments) as they sway their hips and swing their arms to traditional music. 

A variety of regional, festival foods from all over Japan fill the Dome with aroma. 

Try seafood ramen from Hokkaido, soki soba from Okinawa, Tohoku’s beef tongue, 

Nagano’s buckwheat dumplings and Nara’s “mehari-zushi” (rice balls wrapped in 

pickled greens). With over 300 booths to choose from, the food options are limitless!

RUNWAY SAFETY 

FAA.gov 

Runway Safety embodies a safe flight from start to finish. It continues to be one of the 

Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) highest priorities and encompasses pilots, air 

traffic controllers and airport vehicle drivers. 

AIRPORT DIAGRAMS 

Search the FAA Database using our search tool to access PDF versions of airport 

diagrams. Airport diagrams are specifically designed to assist in the movement of 

ground traffic at locations with complex runway or taxiway configurations. 

HOT SPOTS 

A hot spot is a location on an airport movement area with a history of potential risk of 

collision or runway incursion and where heightened attention is necessary. 

WHAT IS A RUNWAY INCURSION? 

Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, 

vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and 

takeoff of aircraft. 

THERE ARE FOUR CATEGORIES OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS: 

Category A: A collision is narrowly avoided. 

Category B: Separation decreases and there is a significant potential for collision which 

may result in a time critical corrective or evasive response to avoid a collision. 

Category C: Ample time and/or distance is provided to avoid a collision. 

Category D: Incorrect presence of a single vehicle, person or aircraft on the protected 

area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft but with no 

immediate safety consequences.
