minto 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Rokko-san ski jo is damn crowned over weekend and holliday. Last year it's like 100+ people on 200 m long 25 m wide single track. Boarding is after 4 pm only. Biwako should be most convenient one. Link to post Share on other sites
John_Janelle 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 We will be in Niseko on January 8, 2010. Spending 10 Nights there. Can't wait. John Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 So, Rokko Jinkoh-skijoh is still operating. The slowest single chair lift 40 years ago. Must have some historic memorial value ... I wonder if they are still using that cannon like snowmaker ... more like an ice shredder Link to post Share on other sites
