hellyer 216 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 That would be a 30" on the Hokkaido scale yes? Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Then that is Niseko Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not Niseko, don't know about Hokkaido scale, it's what ever scale Snow Japan use. I assume what the resort reports on their website, or in their brochures. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 18, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 18, 2013 We basically check with the resorts, and try to check other reliable resources to verify. It's very difficult finding that kind of info for tiny places. The funniest experience was a place in Hokkaido we were trying to get info on. No website, no contact number, absolutely no info to be found apparently. We somehow found out that the ski hill was run by the town/village. My colleague called up the town office to try and get info....the first few staff didn't even know there was a skijo in their little town! After 4 calls and talking to about 7 people, eventually got some basics. Funny. Can't remember which one it was now... Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 18, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yes that's one of the verification methods used. Bob enjoys that after a hard days coding. Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 While the photo does look a bit flat it can't be to bad, as the SnowJapan resort page says that snowboarders make up 60% of the visitors. And we all know that snowboarders hate the flat. Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Some say no-one writes about it, others that it's all over in 7 minutes 30 seconds, after only 1,814m 95 cm all we know is that it's called .......... Link to post Share on other sites
