spook 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 but you put up with it, because if you know your way around it's not a problem. and the snow is ridiculously light Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Depends on the resort of course but the reason for some is that they are/were owned by different companies doing their own thing and then 'linked up'. Not a huge amount of cash swilling around for investment in new lifts right now... Link to post Share on other sites
JapaneseSnowBunny 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 If I am away and staying I would say from start until about 4pm. I much prefer mornings. Link to post Share on other sites
Cathedrealhead 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Basically, as long as I can. This weekend - Hakkaisan in Niigata. Link to post Share on other sites
mikelowry 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I tend to get excited about apres ski by about 4pm and if I don't have an Asahi / Sapporo / Yebisu in hand by about 5 start getting very edgy. Therefore, approx 7 hrs. Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The same, minus the Asahi that is. Problem with it all is that I want the very early but like the beer at night. They don't go together too well. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Myself and Cheesewoman need cheese breaks every so often. I would say 5-6 hours. A lot depends on Cheeseboy and Cheesegirl too. Getting bigger. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Not surprised if they eat so much cheese. Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've been averaging 4-5 hours a day at Niseko. But it's day 3 and I felt funny out on the slopes. Taking it easy. Link to post Share on other sites

SantaCruz 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Haha. My board just felt strange, didn't want to do turns. It was much colder yesterday than the 2 other days I had been out. I just did one run and dropped the board off to get it waxed, chilled out the rest of the day. About to head out now. I'll post some photos tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
