HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I knew this was going to be a fantastic vacation when we flew into Sapporo to witness this gorgeous while panorama from the plane! Bear Cubs ready to take their new gear for a spin in the daylight 27/12/09 Yotei-san with a cover of cloud. Overlooking the Gondola. 27/12/09 Different view of Yotei about an hour later from Hanazono. Pretty Icicle Tree's! Coming back from Hanazono just before they shut the top lift off the tree's grabbed my attention - pretty!!! Stopped to take photo's...of course! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Nice Mamabear, keep them coming. Talking of not busy resorts (see @tokyo's thread), those pics aren't showing a crowded Niseko.... so? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 177 Posted December 28, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 28, 2009 Looking good! Thanks for posting all the pics I think one of Jishipi's photos should be a Photo of the Moment http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/galleries/344169/Niseko_by_Jishipi.html Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Was reasonably busy out on the slopes - not that the photo's show it. Hanazono was quiet on piste, bustling but not overcrowded in the restaurant. Bars have been fairly quiet surprisingly! I will try and take a few 'crowd' shots for you Muika, rather than scenery shots where I wait until there is a lull Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 How can you not?! (although #1 son and I were suffering the new gear miseries today - pushed through it - but his boots hurt, and I had to adjust my stance tonight ..haven't had burn as bad in my quads and hamstrings since I first started riding!)

Mike Pow 52 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Taking the measurements from Niseko Now, as of 29 December that's over 4m of snowfall at village level this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 you been out on snowdon again Mike? The UK has been getting hit with big (well big for the UK ) snowfalls eh? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Plenty of snow in Niseko today!! First tracks - couldn't see our boards at all. Papa was really excited by the face shots! (He was unable to ride due to injury 2 yrs ago when we were here, so it was a huge novelty for him...mind you I really enjoyed it too!!) Snowed consistently all day. Link to post Share on other sites

Talking of not busy resorts (see @tokyo's thread), those pics aren't showing a crowded Niseko.... so? As promised Muika - some 'crowd' shots. From the Ace Quad at about 4.30 this afternoon. Same spot, looking UP the mountain. Pic doesnt really do the number justice at this time of day. I reckon lots of people were winding the day up. It was quite like peak hour actually coming down the hill. This guy caught my eye while I was snapping these photo's - he had a baby strapped to his back! Scary stuff. Our kids were really worried that the little baby was getting cold. I was more worried about what would happen to it if someone took him out and he fell on it. Was an awesome day in Niseko today. We started the day with First Tracks at the Gondola, headed over to Hanazono (YES! I finally did Strawberries), lunch at Hana, and back over finishing the day at the Ace.

The UK has been getting hit with big (well big for the UK ) snowfalls eh? Snowdon's too rocky. Had my second day skiing the Brecon Beacons National Park on Christmas Eve. Superb. 60+ cm of snow forecast between this morning and Thursday morning, so New Years Eve turns are on the cards. Link to post Share on other sites
