		Iwate San has not erupted since the nineteen twenties, and has been showing increasing signs of "geologic activity"(that is an erudite way of saying "She is gonna BLOW HER TOP one of these days!"..or decades).
		As a skier in Iwate, with at least a slight sense of adventure, I must it admit that thought has crossed my mind to ski it, at least a few times.

		Hachimantai is a rather small ski-jou, but the best thing it has going for it is that it is usually the first to open and last to close in the north (this year however, Moriyoshi was the first to open).
		At Hachimantai the best way to have fun is to go off the run and explore a bit on the way down.
		There are very few areas which are fenced off, and the runs are more open plan than the tree lined lanes at APPI or Shizukuishi, there is usually a lot more ungroomed snow than at these two resorts as well.
