Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That is a cool-looking mountain. Mt. Iwate, is it? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Here is a bigger picture of it I found -The whole area looks fascinating Thanks for bringing it to our attention Saitaman. Can anyone tell me the names of the Skijo's in the pic? Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hachimantai Resort in the foreground, Hachimantai Shimokura in the background. At the risk of offending any delicate sensibilities: Resort is pretty boring, Shimokura is a terrific area that skis way bigger than it looks. Link to post Share on other sites
IwateKen 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Cool and thanks snowjunky and Metabo! I'll post a new one up soon. Link to post Share on other sites

IwateKen 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No. No other guesses? I suppose it is a long weekend and so no more photo hints until Tuesday. One hint... Not Iwate. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think it may be Tazawako, but the cropping is pretty tight so very hard to distinguish anything familiar. Link to post Share on other sites
IwateKen 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 There a hint in there for the clever people. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Lift pass on the sleeve is too small to make anything out, and no detail I'm clever enough to make out on lift seats or supports. Can't see any trails or other liftlines...possible building in center, just below the support arm-seat connection, but too fuzzy to tell. Is there a place named Mt Slouch?

pie-eater 207 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If even DiGriz can't get it, I (and he) seriously doubt there's anyone clever enough to! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Looks like a muika photo to me... Rather than slog through the eleventy-million photos he has uploaded, I'll consider, where was that photo taken from? Looks like it might be from some lift parallel to a quad lift. Which makes me think, what is the name of that Yuzawa-area skijo with a gondola running parallel to a chair lift? Centleisure Maiko? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Nozawa Onsen? Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 flimsy? I'll have you know those excuses were rock solid! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well done MO! While there isn't a quad and gondola so close to get that shot, it is Centleisure Maiko from the side of the top quad lift looking over. The line of the mountain road connecting Yuzawa with Shiozawa can be seen in the background (Yuzawa on the right, Shiozawa on the left). Link to post Share on other sites
IwateKen 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Correct! See, some are clever. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So I got it right, but for the wrong reason? I'll take it! Link to post Share on other sites
