dyna8800 3 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 JR View Plaza has a special deal for the 20th anniversary of Gala Yuzawa Resort. On Thursdays from January 20th until March 17th, the price for round trip shinkansen from Tokyo and Gala lift ticket is JPY 6,900. Coincidentally, 6,900 is exactly the price of a one way ticket from Tokyo to Gala Yuzawa. The special is not mentioned on the Gala resort page, but it can be found on the JR Ski Ski page. With the Southern area of the resort finally open, it should be a fun way to spend a Thursday. See you on the slopes, Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That's simply not fair! Mad cheap. Remind me to not go on a Thursday between 20th Jan and 17th Mar! Link to post Share on other sites
dyna8800 3 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 One more thing, forgot to mention that the 2.5 km run from the "top" to the bottom (previously only accessible by gondola) has been opened up. There even is a contest to name the course... Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You don't seem to have been around here of late but this is not news, it has been discussed on here a fair bit..... here's one of them. The Yuzawa Now reports have been mentioning it too. http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/387410/1.html muikabochi is there today and will no doubt report.

dyna8800 3 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks for the heads up, I have seen those previous news articles, and I guess that my point was that they have a "naming contest" going on. Perhaps this will also prevent people from being stranded up top if/when heavy winds make the gondola shut down... Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great, hide the thread before MB gets back otherwise he will get mad. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Because he always mentions that it is always from Tokyo to Niigata, never vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites
