hellyer 216 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Not Hunter ? Bugger! I thought I had it with the seven lifts and 3 base stations - looks very similar to this sat pic http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resort_map.php?resortNo=99 Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Interesting set up almost looks like 3 places merged together. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Don't know where it is but it should be easy. treed heavily from top to bottom so not too high but big with decent vertical. So it's somewhere cold with lots of snow that doesn't melt too quickly on the southern exposure. Tohoku or Hokkaido. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 How could we be so silly? That narrows it down to, ohhh, about 200! Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Easier said than done! Furano came to mind but then I looked and it wasn't the same shape going on. Interested to see where this one is. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 How could we be so silly? That narrows it down to, ohhh, about 200! Not really. Except for a few places like Zao, the ski areas are pretty small (assuming it's in the north). Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You don't really need to take my comments so seriously you know. If it's so easy - where is it? Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 OK.... Don't know where it is. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Or a course map? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Not Yomase. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Did a SJ Resorts search with 15 courses and 1500 max elevation - got 12 results - none of the sat pics looked to be it. need more help Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was off about it being up north. vert is much, much smaller than it looks too. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 need more help 1) In case it is not obvious, that course map is rather old. 2) I may have rotated the maps. Link to post Share on other sites
