3da5rider 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Does anybody know what the story is about that one lift chair with the bell at the top lift of Edelweiss Ski Resort in Tochigi? Link to post Share on other sites

XilR8 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Niseko has a bell too if the bell is what interests you... Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 this one Link to post Share on other sites
3da5rider 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm talking about this one. It's the only chair out of many others on that lift painted gold with a bell on it. My friend and I made idiots of ourselves trying to get the privilege of sitting in it and we actually succeeded. Edelweiss is a small ski-jo in Tochigi. I think it's to Hunter. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask the staff about this mysterious bell before we left. =( Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 think it's to ring when you want to get off. Logical. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ring it and it's drinks all round! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 That's skydiver talking... thursday, couldn't read the fine print of the Niseko one, but it's in memory to some old bloke who had had concern towards the safety of skiers (probably avalanch ) . Got nothing to do with getting off. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yes, and that bell was donated by the old man who was grateful he got found by the Niseko patrol. I was actually talking about the bell on the chair. Ring it to get off. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 To wake up the napping lifties. (What a job that must be sat in the top hut doing... nothing). Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 There was a bell at the top of Zao near the exit for the ropeway. Just had to ring it. Forgot to ask what it was about but guess some "good luck" thing. Interesting with the bell actually on the lift. Link to post Share on other sites
