Looks familiar but cant place a name to it. Will put on my thinking cap

Tsugaike Kogen

That it is. Named after (and co-developed by the owners of) Hunter Mountain ski area in New York, USA.   Over to you, Muikabochi.

ソリ引くイノシシ、ゲレンデに 佐賀のスキー場

 

佐賀市富士町の天山スキー場で、ソリを引くイノシシが人気だ。体長約60センチ、体重約40キロの「モモコ」。雄だが、性格は穏やかで、人懐っこい。

2010年にスタッフの水田強さん(58)が近くのラベンダー園で捕まえた。畑を荒らす厄介者のイメージが強いイノシシだが、水田さんの言うことは、よく聞く。

年末年始も引っ張りだこ。1日に延べ何十人もの子どもを引くときもあるという。

 

I'm not sure poor Momoko looked like she was enjoying that too much. :(

Going back one:

Always wondered if Seibu had plans back in the bubble days to link up Ani & Moriyoshi and develop more terrain up there.

They get tons of snow and with those ridges between the two areas the place looks like it could be an even bigger Rusutsu (new side).

 

Looks like there was originally a plan to link the two sides. From Wikipedia:

当初は森吉山山頂までゴンドラやリフトを掛け阿仁側・森吉側をつなぐ大スキー場構想があったが、環境保護派の反対もあり、当初計画よりかなり低い地点でのゲレンデ開発となり、山頂開発計画は断念された。

 

Oh well.
