[The Telephone Booth Watch 08/09]

Overwhelming public demand - so here's a new photo. Hopefully next time we see it, it will be surrounded by white

 

[Echigo-yuzawa to Kagura]

Naeba is an option, but I would suggest Kagura might be the better in these circumstances.

 

Here is information as well as forecast for Naeba

 

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=1

 

50cm at the base is artificial snow and only on one run. You'll see that we haven't had much snowfall at all in the last week or two. Real snow up top and you can actually ski down, but it's thin on the ground. Check out the Naeba Now page over the last few weeks to get an idea of how things have shaped up.

 

I am also concerned about the lack of snow! And lots of other people too of course. Unfortunately, there just isn't much yet. Fingers crossed and I hope the snow arrives in time for you to enjoy it.

[Echigo-yuzawa to Kagura]

Yes, I think so, but I believe the rental equipment shop at NASPA will be more extensive than at Tashiro ropeway station. I might be wrong there, anyone else?

[Snow depths comparisons]

Someone asked us this in an email so I'll reply on here --- more resorts will appear in the tables when there is actually snow at the resorts and they get into "reporting mode". Eventually there'll be data for (I think) about 450 resorts.

 

[The Snow??]

Hello, this might help with info from the past 6 years or so

[Tsukiji fish market closed for tourists]

pie-eater, I'm afraid. Bit no mind, lets fish.

[Tsukiji fish market closed for tourists]

I just merged these two posts for you - posted within a minute of each other!

[Echigo-yuzawa to Kagura]

There is no ropeway at NASPA.

 

But you will be able to use their free shuttle bus down to the station (3 minutes) and then get to Kagura from there.

 

Hopefully by then, other places will be open - Gala Yuzawa, Iwappara etc. We'll just have to see fingers crossed.

 

Talking about NASPA, this might interest you:

[Most snow anywhere]

Thank you snowhunter. And we appreciate your comments and support.

[Kagura this weekend]

My opinion - if it snows, maybe. If it doesn't - no.

[300,000]

Just jolly well make sure that all the posts are worthy please.

[Long-term accommodation in Niseko, Hirafu]

Looking like it will likely be Thursday morning. Unless there's a rush on posts tonight and tomorrow....

[300,000]

Surely every post is equal?
