kokodoko 67 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thought I would start a new thread to chuck in the Niseko photos. Not much snow overnight. Lots of crowds for holiday.

Dunga 1 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Massive line! At least it's orderly which decreases the likelyhood of a top sheet scratch... Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 The lineup for the meathook was massive.. The guys had one run down from the peak which was good . and the second was tracked out and slushy.. No snow overnight. Tokyo is getting all the snow.. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The guys had one run down from the peak which was good . and the second was tracked out and slushy.. The run down from the peak? There's a lot of terrain accessible from the peak. Which way did you go? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Keep me coming kokodoko. Request. I'd like to see a photo of one of the famous gates. Do they have fences endlessly on either side, and a cattle grid? Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 come on dude, you know what you ned to be doing here. As an old Furano hand, you need to be comparing these two. Well... not need so much, as i want to know how youre finding the comparison and whether next year youll be back at furano, back in niseko or off to nagano and leave this hokkaido nonsense to the cross country skiers like it deserves.

pie-eater 207 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Whilst I don't have a photo of the gate and we wait for kokodoko to take one, I can show you what they were styled on Obviously with a fake statue of liberty on the side. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I really struggled to find any pics of gates at Niseko on google. I guess they're not that exciting. Did find this one though of G7 in Annupuri. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thats disapponting, I was hoping for some more regal gates. And cattle grids perhaps. koko - on a mission. Some fresh koko pics please! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 There are regal gates and cattle grids but it snows so much in Niseko that they are covered for much of the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
