muikabochi 208 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 First day of my season and over to a local favourite, Maiko Snow Resort. It has been a mostly very grey day in the area, hardly any colour to play with, but it was the first day so I wasn't too fussy. Snow was fairly decent, not great, and while cover was actually pretty much 100% you can tell it's not mid season deep - lots of things popping up on the side of the runs. Had a fun few hours though. But just so you can see what Maiko looks like early in the season: 1 Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 They're good aren't they, I like them too. I very probably took very similar last year, but hey! I do hope we get lots of nice clear weather this season though. As much fun as I had, come back and somehow disappointing not to have lots the lovely contrasty pics I like so much.

snowdude 44 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Great pics Mukia! I especially like the mountain pic with the one cable car in the corner! It is kind of like a scene you would see in a movie, very cool! Link to post Share on other sites

peterson 0 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nice pics. What's the skijo in the background of that first photo? Link to post Share on other sites
pdoull 2 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Cheers Muika. Really appreciate the views and pics of ski jo's other than the ones l frequent. I will explore them one day but for now the pics and reports will have to do. Thinking out loud here (thanks for link / reminder -pies) as I must have a look at your gallery tho - keep thinking that but it too will happen. Looking forward to more and hope you can squeeze in some action shots on the deep days. Also feeling a tad envious seeing a lot more people having fun in the snow. Enjoy.

pdoull 2 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Oh. Where the tree branches stop - is that where the snow gets to? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Ta. The snow covers all those branches I reckon. If we are talking about the same branches. peterson, that's Yuzawa Nakazato you can see there. Link to post Share on other sites
