As you are on the lift, the run to the left and the run that is pretty much close to the lifts were open. And not groomed. I think the course to the right, or the course that used to be there anyway, wasn't open. There were no tracks on it so I presume it was roped off. And of course the very top of the resort coming down from there to the south area, that run was closed. Great area for some powder play, the south bit. It will be mad on a day like today, if it is open. Link to post Share on other sites

Just point and shoot, gg. I find that my 12-24 lens and the fisheye produce some really sharp images, they are cracking lenses. Definitely sharper than the 18-200. Not much adjustment done to the photos this time at all, just a bit of contrast adjustment on a few that's pretty much it. Link to post Share on other sites

miller 1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Great photos as always. Wonder how the visiting numbers are for Gala so far. They must have spent a ton. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Must have with both the South area and the downhill course. They were busy on that pretty much all the off-season. Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Stunning photos muikabochi. May there be many such days for you this season. Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wish I could take photos like that. Not many that kind of clear day this season so far? Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 BTW, has the new downhill course at Gala let the resort keep open this season when it's windy? I haven't noticed any times in the daily report when it is closed... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Not sure but as you say haven't heard of any problems. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted March 9, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 9, 2011 Actually I met one of the guys from Gala this afternoon and asked them the very same. Apparently, not one day has been lost this season since the downhill course has been open, so seems to be working in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites
