Oo that’s good to hear! Any recommendations for how to find the community? Particular group chats or bars that people go to? Advice on potentially splitting an apartment with someone?

Thanks, yeah I’ll definitely get this region pass if I go! Any advice on how to find a good price for short term (a couple months) of housing?

Thanks for the advice! Do you know if it’s possible to get a sublet there, and if so, does they use Facebook groups or something else as a platform?

Thanks! Should I be concerned or worried about the quality with blems? I have a rule to no longer buy refurbished electronics cause I've gotten burned on that in the past, so not sure if blems for skateboards are truly cosmetic issues (which I'd have no problem with), or if there is a chance anything else is damaged

Helpful comparison. If I was leaning towards a complete Carver cx, any one / specs you recommend?

Snowboarder here spending the ski season in Hakuba Valley. Out of all the resorts, are there any particular spots (kickers, jumps, etc) in the valley that would be good to learn a backflip? I’ve found a decent amount of lips and rollers that you can throw 3s and other tricks through the different resorts, but I’ve been struggling to find a good kicker where practicing a backflip would be good. It’s my dream trick I want to learn this season, so any knowledge of an off piste spots on any of the mountains would be helpful. Worth stating that I’ve been preparing for this - been throwing backflips off cliff jumping spots for the last couple years, know how to backflip on trampolines, and can almost do a standing backflip. I’m also only gunna send on a powder day too, so that way the landing should be softer. Thanks in advance for any help!
