Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 that snowflake reminded me of Saturday at niseko (sorry for the Hijack), but as I ws waiting for my mates to join me the most perfect snowflake landed on my phone...it was the first time I had actually seen a real snowflake that looked like a drawing of one....very similar to the ones in the photo above Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Seems such a shame to crush them with your snowboard, hey? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 yeah...what was cool though was that it was one single flake, I had a bit of a trippy-hippy moment!! Link to post Share on other sites

firetruck 0 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have been here quite a while but I still have not made it to Zao. Fantastic photos on here. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Here are some more Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just want to say thanks to people here for introducing me to Zao. What a fantastic place it is. I really really liked it I would say more than anywhere else I have been - Hakuba, Shiga Kogen, Myoko, Yuzawa........ Highly recommended. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Today I was in Yamagata city - it was very warm and felt like late March not late Februay. Yesterday was superb weather in Zao and beautiful sunset also Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I am sorry to report that the warmer unseasonal weather recently here has really damaged those ice monsters on the mountain. All of a sudden it seems much more green is on view up there I think we are really past the peak now. The skiing is still great though and lots of snow to enjoy but always sad to see them move on the winter. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 This one needs to go in this thread as well as a record I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 ILoveZao, how is that compared to say usual end of Feb? I can imagine once the monsters get small there's not much of a 'return' on the cards.. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not expected brit-gob. I have heard so many times on the ropeway going up to the top and also up there many people commenting on how small the Ice Monsters are compared to many years ago. I must agree. They still look spectacular of course but they are noticable 'thinner' and the true ones only at the top. I recall seeing them march much furthe down the mountainside when I was younger. It makes you wonder how things will be in 10, 20, 30 years. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 why does Zao have those jagged gondola cable? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Don't like little jaggies, upload at 750 pixesl. Voila, no jaggies. Simply really. As for Zao, wow it sure changes when the snow is not on there. That top course suddenly becomes very uninteresting. It's really just for the scenery anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
