Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 THAT's the Yuzawa I remember, from Back in the Day, when a meter of snow overnight was not at all unusual. Glad to see it for all you Echigoites! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Check out the "Spoiler" photo in the first post in this topic. They seem to clear it just once or twice in a season. More important things to clear it would seem. Lets hope they are busy busy with other things once again. Link to post Share on other sites
shurt 0 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Once it's covered with snow, would be funny if someone added a big neon sign that said "Emergency Phone Here" with an arrow pointing down. Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Nice pic that one. Is that an Avi slide in the background? - awfully steep and devoid of trees Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's not a ski resort snowjunky, just a steep bit of mountain. Actually, it's the side on view of Iijiya-san http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/gallery/album/69-iiji-san-in-yuzawa/ Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 23, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 23, 2011 Good snow falling in Yuzawa now. Here's the box at 3pm this afternoon. Hopefully in a few days we'll see a lot more 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dominique 0 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We will be back in Yuzawa for 7 days in late January 2012, after spending 3 very snowy days there this year, cant wait to get back. After watching the threads about this amazing phone box for several years, we have to get our photo taken at the phone box. How far is the walk from Gala to the phone box ? If walking from Gala is not an option, what is the easiest way to get there ? Thanks Dom and Dave Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I just used Route Finder (on the main site here) to get this for you. A is the phone box and B is of course the Gala base. The orange road is the main Route 17. Just come out of Gala base, down the slope, turn left and follow the road basically.... that road arrives at Route 17 and from there you will be able to see the box if you look left. If you are walking in wellies or normal shoes, I'd say 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
Dominique 0 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thank you Muikabochi, I will assume about 10 minutes each way in snowboard boots and maybe a cold ale on the return to Gala I will be sure to add our photo to the gallery. Hopefully you will be getting into all that wonderful snow that is falliing over the long weekend you have. Thanks Dom and Dave Link to post Share on other sites
