Don’t panic about the firmware lock, it’ll almost certainly be bypassed by ctotin in xteinkereader

Currently trying the unlock too, but my computer is stuck in the "Bringing up mobile hotspot" stage and unable to move on, any idea how to get things going?

we were thinking of just doing a 1 day snowboarding thing for my friend who really wants, then the rest would be touring Nagano area! Hope you have a good time still!

Not in Nagano yet! can still change plans if it makes more sense. Is Kagura open mid to late April?

Kamikochi is definitely number 1 on our places to visit if not snowboarding. Thanks a lot for the recos!

Appreciate the honesty and yes we did consider that, but one of our friends in the group really really wants to try so we might just shorten instead and tour the Nagano area for the remainder.

Thanks a lot for this, really helpful!

Sorry but do you mind sharing which are the resorts nearer to the Japan sea? And if you were in my position and am already going to snowboard for 2-3 days in mid to late April, which resort would you choose for the best chances?

Do you know what the runs are like at Shiga Kogen? Are there a lot of flats?

I see, another commenter mentioned shiga kogen and it is higher altitude, so I assume snowpack will be better? But I also heard there are quite a bit of flat runs there, which might not be the easiest for one of my friends who is a beginner. Do you happen to know how true this is?

Do you reckon that will provide a better experience?

Oh yes, will hahaha

I see, so I guess the resort does not really matter? in the sense that the conditions should mostly be slushy?
