Nisoko 6 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Not many people know about that chairlift. I'm a bit miffed at Mitch for revealing it actually. Link to post Share on other sites

Never saw any chairlifts while I was there, some poor Aussie got his tractor out and dragged us to the top. Link to post Share on other sites

sand 17 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just got back from 2 days in Nozawa which was a mix of showing my wife how to snowplow (which she can confidently do now, and loves it which is fantastic for me) and skiing by myself. arrive in Niseko (wife now can't make it) on Thursday for 3 weeks, can't wait! Any SJers keen to hit the slopes (like Mitch I have a camera), or have a beer or whatever? Link to post Share on other sites
