Interested to see how this turns out.

 

Here's the rules as copied from other threads.

 

Each skijo in the Niseko and nearby area has 5 points to start off with.

When you vote, you have to vote one resort up one point and one resort down one point.

Only 1 vote per person per day.

Must vote based on the vote of the previous voter.

When a resort is down to 0, it gets deleted.

We end up with a winner!

 

OK so here goes:

 

Kiroro: 5

Niseko Annupuri: 5

Niseko Grand Hirafu: 5

Niseko Hanazono: 5

Niseko Moiwa: 5

Niseko Village: 5

Rusutsu: 5

Hanazono is the best side of the mountain in Niseko as far as I'm concerned. Higashi-One Ridge, North Face and Fujiwara no Sawa all part of the Hanazono side of the mountain. All providing some of the best terrain and snow on the mountain. And another big plus is these areas don't have a great run out for boarders so there's no that many of them. Huge plus! The other plus is these areas are nowhere near as popular or well known as the more easily accessible Annupuri bowls.

This will be my 4th season in a row with a Kiroro season pass.

 

If I could play and teach at just one resort per season, this would be it.

 

Inbounds, slackcountry, and genuine touring all lift accessed.

 

Quiet, great grooming, tremendous views.

 

POWDER.

 

And if they could ever link up Kiroro and Sapporo Kokusai then the other resorts in the area would be done.

 

 

And Moiwa got dispatched way too early.

GN raises an interesting point: IF you consider the terrain outside Gates 4 & 5 to be part of Hanazono, that certainly boosts its claim.

Then again, is it valid to consider any terrain outside the Gates? And is Hanazono even a separate area, given that it's a single lift pass as part of Grand Hirafu (even if ownership differs)?

I would argue for voting based only on inbounds, unroped terrain, but GN's position certainly has merit and is persuasive -- those north-facing bowls offer some wonderful powder runs.

Pehaps I should've posted this in Points to Ponder :lol:

No he doesn't......outside tge gates aren't part of the resort so null n void.....but if that's what drives ur liking then vote for the access resort

Well, if we're talking powder stashes not roped off and inside the gates, I have to give some backing to the old Ltd runs at Village...

as a boarder, GN helped clarify why i fekkin hate that part of the hill. That being said, i never went out of the gates that side because i was told 'its just as flat, youll be walking home'. So screw that place :)

Hadn't voted until now but had to rectify Ippy's damage to Hanazono.

Niseko Village...meh...

But I've got loads of awesome memories of playing in Strawberry Fields with my boys - including walking out ;)
