ILoveZao 8 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yes I think so. There are lots of different opinions. Some people pushing for the resort to actually open for longer than planned after Golden Week. It looks like we may well have the snow to be able to do that. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Interesting. Have they announced a date yet? Can't see any on their website. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 No not yet. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 My guess, Satuday 16th, perhaps? Totally a guess, no background info there. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That's certainly middle of the month Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You know what, I might even make the trip myself. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Bit too far for me, any skiing now will likely just be Kagura. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Strong earthquake last night and electricity was cut off until this morning. Not a good night and a bit of a shock to get rocked around like that again after people thinking it was quietening down. I don't know if this will affect any re-opening plans.

Zaoman 0 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I was in Yamagata city last night and rudely woken up by that. Rude at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That's great to hear. Wonder why they don't open up top this weekend? Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 They are officially calling this weekend "pre-open". Link to post Share on other sites

ILoveZao 8 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 I hope some people turn up when they open?! It will certainly be a strange feeling going up there after over a month closed.... Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It has been a stressful month. I think I am going to get up there next week once they open the top up, I think it will do me a world of good. Link to post Share on other sites

Zaoman 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Still a fair bit I think. I will be going this weekend for some relaxation and a reminder of fun times! Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 My last day today just an hour - it was busy! A strange season overall, but glad that the resort could open up later on for the last bit. I'll post some summer photos as well if and when. Link to post Share on other sites
Zaoman 0 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I didn't make it at the end there, but heard there were quite a lot of people around. Strange season of course with everything that happened. Onto summer! Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for the photos ILoveZao. Keep them coming. I will get there next season. I will! Link to post Share on other sites
