Checking out Hakkaisan in Niigata (31st Jan '10)


Recommended Posts

Today I went over to Niigata to check out the Hakkaisan resort and try out my new camera.

 

The day started off sunny but clouded over later on. Snow was heavy and spring-like so I kept out of all the trees, I don't think my currently fragile knees would have been able to put up with it.

 

Good place I want to go back when theres some fresh snow. Lots of trees, even though it was Sunday it wasn't tooo busy.

 

The ropeway has to be the fastest I have ever seen. It looked like it was on constant 'fast forward search' mode.

lol

 

So just a few photos. Haven't learnt my new camera so these are simply default settings, fairly pleased with it.

It was all right up top but pretty icy and hard packed.

Wasn't terrible but like I said felt like spring.

 

Rob, no I didn't. Knees are recovering and without it being nice and soft powder I didn't feel the need!

Nice pics there Mina2. I went Skiing Saturday in Nobeyama, Nagano, but snow there was also hard packed and icy in patches.

But the snow there still looks much better than what it is here.

We definately need this new snow which is supposed to be on the way!
