muikabochi 208 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I thought this might be useful foir people not visiting places on weekends. I suppose there's 2 cases: 1 Where lifts are closed mid-week but it doesn't really affect riders because all the runs are still reachable 2 Where lifts are closed mid-week and because of this one part or more of the resort is not reachable. Lets listing. I'll start: In group 2, Naeba and Kandatsu. Perhaps a special mention to places that seem to be fully open, every day: Zao Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nozawa has a fair few lifts closed but I think most of the area is skiable. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Marunuma Kogen, Grandee Hatoriko and Inawashiro are in category 1. Inawashiro is interesting in that it also has one lift that is ONLY operated on weekdays. I think it is used by schools or something. I've noticed that ski areas seem generally pretty good about listing which lifts are running and which are not on any given day. May be a good idea to check their web pages if possible before going, to avoid disappointment. Link to post Share on other sites
