Slippery Jim 65 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm going for the first time to niseko, which is the best mountain near Kutchan for intermediate/advanced skiers. Fixed it for you ! (It's one mountain, with three -- or four, depending on how you count'em -- sets of lifts.) Link to post Share on other sites
CnnmnSchnpps 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Pretty much everything except Niseko VIllage has great terrain and BC access gates. Strawberry Fields is nice and mild, L gate is great. The peak gates are sick just don't drop off the wrong side of the mountain, me and my friends spend 3 hours walking back the long way round last year. Not to hijack the thread, but another Niseko question - the avvy reports have coordinates mentioned, is this from any official map? Tried searching online to no avail.. [Risk Assessment]: Coordinates H9 to B9, H2, C4, especially around backbowl sidewalls at elevations between 900-1200m, O-Sawa at elevations around 800-900m the possibility of a 60cm avalanche continues. Also in the strictly of limits area Haru no Taki (coordinates J4) there is increasing risk of a 100cm surface fracture. Cheers -D Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes co-ordinates. Grid references. From the Niseko Rules map freely available in the Niseko Resort Area http://niseko.nadare.info/ Link to post Share on other sites
CnnmnSchnpps 0 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 There's actually no link to the map from the nadare.info page.. However it is on the main resort page - for reference: http://www.niseko.ne.jp/rules/11-12Niseko_Rule_JPEN.pdf Also posted in the bathrooms of Annapuri Gondola, lol..

yamabushi 3 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 At Niseko, is it ok to go up the gondola/lift with your full BC gear? Link to post Share on other sites
