muikabochi 208 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yesterday was one of those brilliant blue sky days again. Originally I wasn't planning on driving up there but with the skies so clear I thought it felt like a Naeba day so that's where I went. The snow was good, a bit crusty in places but up top there was lots of fluffy stuff to play in. The resort wasn't busy at all the days of waiting at lifts on a weekday at Naeba are truly over...didn't even need to wait for the gondolas - just walked on. Anyway, here's how it looked.

sanjo 2 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 fukdane, it's about 25-30 minutes from Yuzawa station maybe add a bit in bad weather or stuck behind some truck. Link to post Share on other sites
cram400 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 wow, seems like there were a lot of fresh lines to be had for those lucky souls who made it out there yesterday! thanks for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yes lots of lines to be had. Good day. Naeba still seems to get stuck with the "it's really busy" stick. It may well be on a weekend but take a look at what it's like on a beautiful Wednesday in January. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It does look very quiet. Can I just have copies of your photos for my trip up there next month muika? I'll tell my friends I took them! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ya goose Rob! Although if it were me I would be pretty happy...I think any one of us would be pretty happy to be out there in that rather than drooling over it in front of a computer screen! Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 You sure know how the pick the days muikabochi! If Naeba can't get even slightly busy, where does that leave other resorts? Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That is a really great day in Naeba. Talking about being at the right place at the right time... That's rare! wow.. good ol' days for me. Can't get over that there are So many buildings there now. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Crackers muikabochi. We forgive you for letting us know how lucky you are as you share so much of it with us. Ta. Link to post Share on other sites
inned muppet 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Fine fine images. I remember going to Naeba one weekend when it was pretty busy but I suppose most popular places are. Mid-week is sweet if you can get it. Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 nice pics again.... Passed through Yuzawa yesterday evening. Not many lights on in those condominiums. Lots of night skiing areas with good vertical. Was looking out for phone boxes as well! Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Whats the nightlife like in Yuzawa? Plenty of restaurants and bars? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Don't know! Haven't been for so long. I know a few bars that were open are now closed. Snodeck in Naeba is no more and that 'international' bar in Yuzawa is now more amongst others. There's a fair few restaurants and izakayas on the main onsen road though. Oh yes, and karaoke.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Were most of the lifts moving muika? I like that katsu restaurant near the Ropeway in Yuzawa. Yummy yum. Link to post Share on other sites

tactic 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 wow awesome! what time did you take the pics from under the gondola?? last year after about 10 - 10:30am that would be all tracked out!! seems like the croweds are completely gone? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'd say around noon. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 That is surprising. Most people actively avoiding those lovely soft spots? Or just no-one around? Link to post Share on other sites
