Karnidge 2 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Will it be your first time, Mick? Can you cope with the Big G, that's the question. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yep, first time for me, hence the 2 week trip to Hokkaido to get myself up to speed! It also gives me more time to choose an appropriate cheese, something that can do the place justice. Link to post Share on other sites
wakaran 1 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 A full cheese platter is called for I think. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Let me know when you are up Mick, might be able to make it myself. Always a challenge to face up to the Big G. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Let me know when you are up Mick, might be able to make it myself. Am tentatively thinking about a mid-week jaunt up there next week, subject to weather and a few work commitments. Will know more once I get back to civilisation this weekend, so will PM you then.

tokabochi 9 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't think Mt Granview is open on weekdays. (?) Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is the Big G still open?? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Do you really care, Mick, or are you just trying to appear trendy and cool? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Do you really care, Mick, or are you just trying to appear trendy and cool? Oooh, that hurts Muika! Actually I was thinking that if I went to Naeba on Saturday I could make my way over to Mt G for a quick turn or 2 on the hallowed slopes. Care to join me if I do?? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just checking, just checking... You know how some people just like to piggyback onto the latest cool thing! It was deffo open yesterday, though not sure how long they will continue... Next weekend I'm up in Niigata so no go for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 going to do it Mick? I might. If I do a nightbus trip to Naeba and I can work out how to get from Naeba to the Big G, then yes, I'm up for it! Could this be a last-minute SJ get-together?? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Get the shuttle bus from Naeba to Echigo Yuzawa Station. Then you need to get to Mt Granview. I would guess --- get the local Joetsu train line from Echigo Yuzawa Station to Ishiuchi Station (next stop) and Mt Granview is about 2km from there, so taxi? It would surely be worth it though. No doubt there will be some major "last day of season" events going on. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I suppose the Mt Granview shuttle buses are a bit too busy to make it practical, muika? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 He JUST missed out on this years super sensation of Helicopter rides straight to Mt Granview-Ski field of Dreams. They were running a pick up service from anywhere in Kanto until today.......bad luck Mick Link to post Share on other sites

gnarly-dude 1 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thats too bad. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Snow has dried up from most of Mt Granview now folks. I'm also hearing from someone that there has been some graffiti painted onto the phone box and in a few other places in Yuzawa. Will be going later in the week to check it out.

Wizz 11 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That sound pretty shocking. I hope they haven't vandalised any of Mt Granview's assets. Link to post Share on other sites
