Sakai-san 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I remember go to Naeba in late 80s. It was so crazy busy, we spend most of time lining up for lift. Then the slope is also crowded and difficult to see much white. Like Shinjuku station. People go there now I think enjoy relatively empty slope, I am jealous! Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 not really Sakai san, this season I went and the lines were crazy!! Albeit the wind was huge and a lot of the top lifts were closed, but the slopes were still busy Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Weekends only TB. Weekdays empty (or not far off). Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It can still get fairly busy on weekdays compared with other resorts and also obviously not like it was weekdays perhaps 20 years ago. I'm sure they wish it were much busier though. Link to post Share on other sites
why? 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I've got a place in Yuzawa I don't use. How do you reckon would be a good way or place to try and sell it? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Someone might buy it if the price is 0 yen. I wouldn't though. Link to post Share on other sites
why? 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Oh come on, at least say one yen. That way i can at least hope for the yen to hit, like, 1 yen for 40,000 pounds. At zero, you give me no hope, its a mathematics thing. Link to post Share on other sites

why? 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well maybe I can still work with this. 0 yen is poised to hit 40,000 anytime now. I can rest easy. Link to post Share on other sites
why? 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hadn't given it much thought, and OK, you would not buy (at any price), but if you had one to SELL, what would you ask for it? This is not to rip anyone off, but a price that someone, somewhere, would be happy to pay. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Anybody been this season? Would like to know how this grand dame is getting on. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not yet but I will go and will report. I suspect it's pretty good up there with all the snow. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yuzawa has a lot going for it, driving or bullet train access, more than a few resorts to go to , Onsen, etc... Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 That also means that lots of people come on the shink, ski and then go home on the shink. No need to stay. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 I did read just after New Year that numbers at ski resorts were down pretty much everywhere in Niigata over New Year.... because of the very snowy conditions. double Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have come to see that too much snow is a proble for some. Almost zero visibility, knee deep powder where it should not be (groomers). It does make it less pleasant for many. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Definitely. Count me in. I'm not keen when it's blizzarding out there. Link to post Share on other sites

You gotta be kidding. I thought glooming is to flatten out the track marks and spread that pockets of accumulated heavy snow. Link to post Share on other sites
