SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 20, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why exactly can't you see the vid thursday? Just a general request on things like this but please but if you are experiencing some kind of problem on the Forums with things like this, can you please contact us off the Forums - either PM or email - rather than clog up otherwise good threads with comments. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Question: in the first part of the video there seems to be a lift line (ropeway/gondola) but nothing moving on it. What's that, an old one out of operation now? Link to post Share on other sites

What's that, an old one out of operation now? Just re-watched and that is the Higashiyama old Gondola which was replaced by the Hilton hotel Gondela in Niseko Village.

mitchpee 10 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Mini TR: Went and toured down the road from Moiwa yesterday at a relatively secret spot. Ang and I went out and the snow was actually very stable. It should have resulted in some pretty good shots, so I am waiting to get those and I will post them up. Unfortunately what made for a fun time yesterday will prove to be pretty bad for today. We are getting a good amount of snow here in Niseko but anything not in very tight trees and S/SE/SW facing will be quite hard. Luckily, Tonight, Sat, and Sun look like they should bring around 40-50 cm of snow. That should be enough to make it feel "bottomless" So if you are in Niseko, take today off and do all the touristy stuff as tomorrow and Sun should be realllly good. Link to post Share on other sites

No tricks, just pow Top of the peak, got there just before the slew of people dropped in about 10th or 15th Sun came out next run up!
