Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I don't think so. I think the satellite view just has daytime images from two different seasons mixed. (Can Google Maps display night-time pictures?) Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Really got us there Metabo. I just looked through Fukushima, Tochigi, Yamagata, Miyagi on the maps and couldn't find one like that. Another clue! Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah I bombed out on the SJ resorts search also ( well actually it was taking up to much time so I had to do some real work) Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 CHAUSUYAMA KOGEN ? NOPE. Really got us there Metabo. I just looked through Fukushima, Tochigi, Yamagata, Miyagi on the maps and couldn't find one like that. Another clue! Clue: It is not in Fukushima, Tochigi, Yamagata, or Miyagi. Another clue coming up soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I really thought someone would have recognized that mountain in the background. Oh well. Final clue (really just giving it away with this one, I reckon): Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Did you get it the way I thought someone would? I.e., by googling "チュービングリフト"? In any case, you're up SJ-Andrew! Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hmm - 4 courses hey? - Says six on Snow Japan - no wonder I could not find it. Aerial shot appears different to trail map also. Realy tough - unless you have been there of course Ah well looking forward to the next one - go easy on us Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hmm - 4 courses hey? - Says six on Snow Japan - no wonder I could not find it. Hmm, http://www.snowjapanresorts.com/ says 4 courses... Aerial shot appears different to trail map also. Rotate one of them around almost 180 degrees, and I think you'll find a pretty good match: the peak of the hill is to the south-east (lower-right corner of satellite view). Realy tough - unless you have been there of course I did give the shot with the (in)famous Mt. Asama in the background as a hint, as well as the satellite view from SJ Maps. (Actually, I like the satellite views -- might make good source material for future quizzes.) Perhaps I'll tone down the challenge level next time, though. (Then again, perhaps not!)

In any case, you're up SJ-Andrew! Yes! And it did kind of look a bit Asama-ish. I'll post one tomorrow morning. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well done anyway Metabo - certainly gave this old brain a work out and I guess it does not matter how hard it is as long as hints keep coming Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 22, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 22, 2012 OK checked now and adjusted. This is one of those places that has conflicting info out there as well as some 'what is a course?' confusion. But it seems that the general 'official' consensus is 6 courses and 3 pair lifts. And that tubing thing. So I have adjust so that now both snowjapan.com and snowjapanresorts.com say the same at 6 courses and 3 pair lifts. Sorry for the confusion there and thanks for pointing out.
