Nice pics ippy, cheers

Implausible!

Look forward to it.

He was obviously just sticking to the bunny slopes / childrens area.

I think generally Nagano and the whole region has far more appeal than Hokkaido.

Yes curious to know what you mean by that.

I have actually heard similar. One dip last season and they give up. Rubbish.

I do have other things to do and enjoy rather than worry about weather forecasts that often change you know. Good policy I reckon.

Anyone ever get to this place, in Katashina, Gunma? I see sadly they are reduced to just one lift this coming season. It looks like it used to be possibly worth a visit, but perhaps not now. What happened? Was it any good when it was fully open? Wiki shows some past story but not updated with the latest "down to 1 lift" bit. 1994年 - 12月、ゴルフ場経営の昭和総合開発株式会社と地元片品村、片品村農協などの出資で設立された第三セクター、尾瀬高原リゾート株式会社により開業。初年度の入り込み数は15万人。 1999年 - 10月、親会社の昭和総合開発株式会社が和議を申請。尾瀬高原リゾートも入場者数低迷や債務のため経営難。このシーズンの営業を自ら行える状態になく、運営をスポーティング・マネジメント社（現ホテル＆リゾートマネジメント社。奥利根スノーパーク（旧称水上奥利根スキー場）などを経営する鈴木商会グループ）に委託。

Funny how a cropped photo can make Yuzawa Park look like Happo-one, etc.

Experience and heartbreak has told me to only bother with the forecasts a few days before.

Love it! What a cool guy.

I've got my eye on some of those yellow Rossis.

Always seemed like a gimmick. Is it improving? And is it just best back in the US?

There's too much something in here, ne.

Looks busy. Wonder how many busy it is mid winter.

I also really really do want to make it this time.

You are correct. It is looking back on the approach to Kandatsu. Big Iwappara pink condo buildings in the background they would have probably given it away to easy. It's your turn joshnii,

As many as possible.

I'm the same with the wide feet and Technical boots.

No not Myoko

It's definitely not Tomamu.

Good one

Looking back last year Iwappara got open on 17th December http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/yuzawa-now-archive.php?month=12&year=2011
