Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 One more hint: it is not in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 But it is "Japan ski related." Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Is it on earth, or do I need to get my Star Trek and Babylon 5 DVDs out? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Finland? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Not Finland. (And not specific enough if it were.) But it is on earth. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Runcorn Ski Centre in Widnes, Cheshire? Though I'm not sure if they have penguins there. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Remember, I said it was not lift-served terrain. Striking resemblance, though. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Not Finland. (And not specific enough if it were.) But it is on earth. Well none of your pics are specific. Just trying to narrow it down a bit Siberia? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Not Siberia. And my first pic was very specific. As was one of the hints (if you read it correctly). Not to mention the satellite view. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 South pole? I don't know how that's "Japan ski related" though. Anyway, it looks pretty polar, not just by the bleakness of it but also the long shadows.... Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Except those look like trees in the aerial shot so that doesn't work. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'll give you the right hemisphere, ger. (Penguins in Siberia??) And I'll note that scale can be pretty hard to make out in satellite pics... Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Ah ger beat me....but penguins in Siberia is impossible....they only live in the southern hemisphere Tassie? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If "Finland" and "Siberia" were not specific enough, an entire continent certainly would not be either. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Not Tasmania, either. (And again, not specific enough even if it were.) Link to post Share on other sites
