big-will 7 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The Naeba one is like slush puppy. There was a vid of it somewhere on the snowjapan.tv site, but can't just find it now. Link to post Share on other sites

neversummer 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I was living there then and that time of year is t-shirts from 10am onwards but it freezes each night and with 10,000 people each day funnelling into La Chaudanne it is absolute bullet proof.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 TBH we had pretty good weather/snow except for that slope, which was the one leading back from Courceval. On the Courceval side it was awesome the day we went (we managed to time it after it snowed at night time and was bluebird day). We got the 1st lift over and other than the ski patrol track we pretty much shredded it up ourself. One of the best day boarding ever, great snow, bluebird morning, riding down with the mountain to ourself and 2 hot air balloons in the valley below.....awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So it sounds like the only snow-making effort at Niseko was to make the lift-base area(s) skiable/rideable, and there is no snow-making on the groomers? Link to post Share on other sites
