kokodoko 67 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi Ippy. If its any consolation I went to Kamui yesterday and it was really horrible. I hope that makes you feel better. photos are uploading. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 the hand still knacks by the way. Though im stilll not entirely convinced its anything other than my body trying to stop me wasting money riding a (formerly) snowless mountain. Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ipster, I told you not to deck that guy. You only have yourself to blame. Here are some photos from today. the link lift. you can see the wind blowing quite a bit. and here is an arty shot of the trees. It was actually pretty hard to take photos of any skiing during the day because the visibility was really bad. It was blizzarding for most of the day on and off. Link to post Share on other sites

Back to Furano, it should be good up there tomorrow if the wind dies down Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I been here 5 weeks so far, with about another 4 to go before I head back to Kanto via Niseko, Rusutsu, Hakkoda, and as many resorts as I can get to in Niigata-ken and Nagano-ken before I reach my credit card limit!!

muikabochi 208 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Wow long stay. Furano worth such a long experience? Or are you just using it to chill out in one place, so to speak. Looking forward to some Hakkoda pics in particular if you can Mick Rich. Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you just using it to chill out in one place, so to speak. I was here last season and made a few friends, etc, plus it's a good base for day trips to Kamui, Asahidake and Tomamu. Not a party town but lots of good cafes and onsen - I guess it's an age thing I will, of course, be taking some cheesy photos at Hakkoda et al! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 A few "non-cheese" as well too if possible Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 koko, Man, you knew I was there a couple years ago, had a blast then! It is a great place to slide, and a day trip to Kamui makes it soooo nice! The fact that the town is but a short walk away from the resort at Furano makes the "cultural ingestion" that much better. I'd be back there in a wink, but I have sooo many more places to ski, that it'd be sad to stick to one place. Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I am here for nearly 3 months in all. JA, i did not know you had been here. p.s. its puking down tonight. we have had about 2-3 cms in about an hour. Link to post Share on other sites
