Ross 4 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Love your pics my wife wanted to go to zao this year. But we are going to another great spot. The pressure is on for 2011 already. Please stop the photos of the snow monsters as I keep getting in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Jealous. Hope the timing is good for you BM. Monsters should be getting pretty good though still looks like they need some growth. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Seem to be yes. Isn't the peak in a week or two usually? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 ILoveZao, how late does the resort typically stay open? Are they usually open through Golden Week? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't know the answer to that Metabo but if you look in his thread from last year it might be in there. ..... don't you live somewhere in the Tohoku area? Not too far? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion, Grungy! I didn't realize there was a similar thread from last year. From that thread, it looks like they usually aim to stay open through GW, though barely managed it last year, and mostly the higher elevation slopes at that. I'm not quite in Tohoku, and Zao is just slightly out of reasonable day trip range for me. So I'm looking into the overnight stay options. And anyway it is such a large place that a day trip would hardly seem to do it justice. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yes hopefully something until GW but it is usually limited Link to post Share on other sites
