oblivion 5 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Do they change the colours of the lights up there or switch it around somehow or is it always the same? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I guess it's the same. They have some lights on lighting up some trees at the base of the Gondola, some white lights in the middle bit and then the ones at the top. From what I remember they were the same colour each time I went. Link to post Share on other sites

akitapow 1 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey guys, headin' to Zao soon and wanted to get some tips for hittin' this mtn! I've heard complaints about short lifts, flat spots etc etc. and paying for parking just wanted to see if anyone might have some good advice for a Zao newb your favorite areas to hit on the mtn? Hit me up! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The biggest tip I have is to park at the Kurohime area. That side of the mountain is a little more enjoyable and the lift is super fast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
akitapow 1 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Cheers bro, thanks for the heads up! Do you have to pay for parking over there? are there free parking options? Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I believe just holidays are paid, actually I never go up there weekends! But Kurohime is a good place to start the day. Unfortunately due to it's location, Zao doesn't have a huge amount of parking space like some resorts. Link to post Share on other sites

Wanted to see it lit up at night though Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 How have the monsters been this season? I presume we are past the peak now, but did they have a good one? Link to post Share on other sites
norcal 5 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Made it up here, got in an afternoon session. Visibility was ok. Saw what was left of the snow monsters. Up at the top there are a few that are still covered, but looks like most are falling apart. Still look good though, I wish I'd come earlier this season. My wife just told me kids are Y1000 tomorrow. Looks like I'm getting there early and leaving early, lol. Probably gonna be packed. Link to post Share on other sites
