MagSeven 40 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are we guessing the right island? I'm struggling to think of any other ski jo's in Hokkaido that could look like that... Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well it looks really flat, so probably is Hokkaido Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 There's more than one ski resort at lake toya? Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 No, only the one. Sorry, you answer further back was Lake Toya, which was the lake in the picture, but the answer I was looking for was Windsor Snow Resort, the private ski field for the Windsor Hotel. Correction, see MagSevens post below. Link to post Share on other sites

MagSeven 40 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 That's the ocean in the photo above. There is another ski area called Orofure which is sometimes known as Toya, but it's quite a way away from the lake itself. The Windsor Hotel's ski slope is right on the ridge between the lake and the ocean. ( I know this as I was looking for it on Google Earth earlier!) And 'Get in!' is a British saying. It just means 'Yes!' or 'Yatta!' kind of thing. Kind of thing you'd shout if your team scored a goal. Anyway, my next photo. (I'm really running out of photos to post now!) Check out how steep it is.... Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm not too sure if I got this right, the water in the background is definitely the ocean, but the big ski run at Windsor Hotel goes down to the lake. As below. Hopefully the picture I put up is of the Ski area and Activity area. However I must apolagise to all who took turns at guessing as I thought the picture was of the run to the lake Link to post Share on other sites
