Guess Where This Is
Bushiman replied to hellyer's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
From that photo, it looks like the valley might spit you out back to the resort, or at least close to.... Might have to take a peek at a contour map once someone HURRIES UP AND GETS THIS PLACE! -

Dunno... But I like the look of that valley up the right hand side! -
Yeah, man! The resort map looks awesome! Plenty to keep you entertained that's for sure...

Japan VS British Columbia

Cheers u-tan! Being in Niigata you might recognise one or two of those spots! -
It looks like boot prints where people have pulled up before the cliff and hiked back up round skiers right to safety... Don't know what the dude was thinking... I was expecting an avalanche vid when I first clicked on the clip, but oh no....

Yeah, I mean as far as I can tell from the YouTube vids of Red Mountain tree lines, I think you'd definitely find stuff to keep you entertained in and around Nagano/Niigata... You probably won't get lines anywhere near as long though -especially lift accessed... Here's a vid of my favourite slackcountry lines from a few seasons ago... Having no idea what a double black is like I can't comment, but at least you'll get the gist perhaps of some of the lift-accessed terrain available here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM5o_7rjl-4 -

BINGO! It is indeed Annupuri, and it most certainly is on the island of Japan! -

Ha! I can't remember if you were there that day or not! So better say, "No"! Nope... Nope... And nope! Clue #2: Not Nagano, and not Gunma... -

Good guess, but that would've been too easy!
