2. 2. It’s It’s a snowboarding/skiing
heaven!
Gifu is wonderfully peaceful, but that does not
make it any less adventurous! For the sports
lovers and thrill-seekers, Gifu is a must for
snowboarding or skiing. Out of every other
place I’ve snowboarded, Gifu was the best for
the most satisfying snow and smooth sailing
down the mountain. At Nagareha Resort Ski
Park, there were no wet, slippery patches of
snow during the entirety of my time on the
slopes. It also was not nearly as crowded as
other ski parks I have been to. These traits
made my time all the more worthwhile, as I
could snowboard freely and recklessly to my
heart's content.
The high quality of the snow in Gifu makes it
safer and easier for snow sports, but due to
my general clumsiness, I still managed to
have a few wipeouts. The cushiony snow
came in very handy for that! I fell face-first
into a giant pile of snow, but it was the most
painless and gentle fall I’ve experienced in my
life. Grab a few friends to help you out of the
snow piles and enjoy the slopes!
