snowdude 44 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Was like that here last week but luckly just normal crouds today albiet reasonably busy. Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 And here was I expecting some amazing photos! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Remind me never to go to a popular skijo on a kids free weekend again. I know I'm spoit being able to go quickly weekdays (well lots of the time). But oh no, never again. That just wasn't fun at all. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You tricking us into thinking beautiful images await! Link to post Share on other sites
Doktor Avalanche 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You should have chosen Mt Granview, muikabochi. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think you are absolutely right. No photos today, sorry. What are the usual excuses that come out of the bag? Blizzard, forgot camera, camera broke, couldn't be bothered << Take your pick! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 i cant believe you dont love a good old fashioned resort cluster****! I LOVE taking pictures of ridiculous numbers of people riding tiny areas of the resort. Its hilariously funny! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Nahh. I like trees. Didn't actually take my proper camera just the little one but didn't take any photos - not even of the cheese! That was eaten waiting for a lift. 20 minutes for a lift and mad crowded runs. Not my idea of fun at all really. I'll stick to mid-week. (Though I am happy for the resorts being busy, I may add!) Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I like your 'lonely people' type shots as well muika. Don't suppose there were many of them today! Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 As someone else said muika, you made the mistake of shuning Mt Granview, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Now if Mt. Granview had been busy, that would have been worth pictures, even keitai ones. (Not that Mt. Granview is not always the most photogenic resort on the planet, of course.) Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I now realise my silly mistake. But definitely will remember in future. Of course Mt Granview does actually indeed have some rather wonderful views. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Was it the kids free thing that really did it I wonder? They are definitely days to try and avoid. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Was on the local Niigata news last night. Apparently, increase in children of 5% at Naeba. Extremely vague report, so probably meaningless. They also showed the all night thing at Kandatsu........and the disco balls! Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nahh. I like trees. Didn't actually take my proper camera just the little one but didn't take any photos - not even of the cheese!

(Though I am happy for the resorts being busy, I may add!) 20 mins is a sort wait for lifts at mt bullsh*t here in OZ. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Then I probably would not enjoy it! Again probably spoilt by very quiet mid-week places round here. Once you know that, the idea of queueing for crowded slopes lacks appeal in a big way Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah I got the feeling of not waiting in lines even on pow days in japan mid week. Was awesome not having to wait. It's just not fair I tells ya! Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Then I probably would not enjoy it! Again probably spoilt by very quiet mid-week places round here. Once you know that, the idea of queueing for crowded slopes lacks appeal in a big way So do you fancy a quieter, mid-week return tomorrow, or how about hiking the Big G?

cheeseman 1 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Weekdays are just so much more fun aren't they. IF the skijo fully opens that is. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam williams 1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just booked a sneaky 1 day midweek trip to maiko for next week and have a quick question, the shuttles from echigo yuzawa, Are they running from the first shink from Tokyo? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
