My buddies and I are currently in Hakkoda. the conditions are good here, with lots of snow. But the primary goal of this trip is to go up North and ride a couple resorts in Hokkaido. It looks like Kurodake is the place to go for steep sidecountry lines. But I looked at the Kurodake web site, and it seems to say that the ropeway there is closed for maintenence. I don't know if Google is translating the page properly, and I can't read Kanji, so I'm not completely sure. Can someone please have a look and confirm for me?
