Go Native 70 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Today was a beautiful day for another trip up into the hills. Went up Iwaonupuri (1154m). I drove up to Goshiki-onsen which is just below the peak at an altitude of around 750m. On the way up And up. Mt Annupuri (1308m) in the background. Getting close to the top At the top. You can see Kutchan, the town where I live, on the plain to the left of the rocks. Mt Yotei (1898m) in the background View to the west along the range. The Sea of Japan top right. Taking in the view Skied back down to Goshiki and had an onsen. Really nice way to spend a few hours. Link to post Share on other sites

deanrobi 2 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 GN, whats the line thru the centre of photo no 2, along the base of Annapuri, is it the creek that you ski along the side off when coming out of the back bowls. How much longer have you got there? must only have a few ski's left hey Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nice pics. Whats the latest from Niseko resorts, still going? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 That's the road between Kutchan and Goshiki. They have gone through and cleared it but it is still closed. They usually open it to traffic sometime in mid to late May. It actually made it fairly difficult to get up out of the car park onto the slope as the walls of snow are about 3m high. We leave for Australia on 11 May. Should get a few more trips in yet as I'm no longer working. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 most of the major resorts seem to be seeing the season through. This weekend at Happo the line up in the morning for the gondola was out onto the street. It was nice to see but sad to be in. Link to post Share on other sites
