lastrocker 5 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey, i've seen some vid of descents just in front of the sea, and i thought it would be a great experience... till i found this picture: Does anybody know where this place is? From other pictures of the same album it looks like the area is filled with pillows too... I heard about Rishiri island, wich looks great, but from my web searches descents don't reach directly the sea. I may be wrong Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think that line is just north of Otaru. There's an area with a little amusement park, a lighthouse and a hotel called the Neuschloss out on the cliffs. A short hike from the hotel gives access to some steep lines down to the rocky beach. It's been in a few ski movies in the past, even if its not the exact line in that BD picture. I think there'd probably be quite a few options in that area, and heading around the coast to Shakotan.

lastrocker 5 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Wow thanks heaps, i'm checking google maps and stuff, that's the place!! This and a descent inside Yotei's crater are the main goal of the incoming season!! Even tho i'm afraid the crater won't be doable, it looks like it's pretty hard to reach the top of Yotei till march and i'll be there in mi january-mid february... we'll see, finger crossed Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ya, that certainly does look like the stretch between Otaru and Rumoi. There are also a few spots like that north of Rumoi around Haboro. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 You could do that in a hundred different places on the road down to hakodate. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Scenery aside, why would I want to do that? Link to post Share on other sites
lastrocker 5 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Basically no reason. Or the same reason an onsen is so much more enjoyable if outdoor and under a heavy snowstorm. At the end of it my japanese friends would tell me "good memories!" Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I reckon it would be pretty cool. Esp. if you had someone down the bottom with a car to take you back up. Or a gondola. Link to post Share on other sites
