muikabochi 208 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 A few photos from the first half of the day, taken from Iwappara in Yuzawa town. Lovely weather. Snow was ok too. Fun was had. Met a friend up there who invited me to move on to another place, that's in this thread: http://www.snowjapan...anuary-2014-pm/ ---- If you go to Iwappara, these 2 quads are the lifts you will be wanting to use. The one on the left goes up to the top. Link to post Share on other sites
Saitaman 1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Loads of untouched on the right there in the area where the gondola used to be. Is the Gondola still there by the way? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes not steep but nice all the same. The Gondola is still there, Saitama, but hasn't been used for a number of years now. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Beautiful. But no helmets. I like that shot of the base area with 3 lift lines all at different angles. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is there ever a time of day when the views looking south are clear? Always seems to be hazy and I remember you mentioning that too muika. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Don't think so tokabochi. The sun is always over there shining back towards the resort, so I can't recall ever getting really good contrast the other way. Perhaps better really early morning? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I love the sparkly snow you get after a cold night. I think its called surface hoar. Link to post Share on other sites
suzannang 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 lovely photo from this place. this is my target place to go on my Jab trip to japan nx year Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Thank you. Iwappara, or Yuzawa as a whole? Best classic Yuzawa views on a clear day are from Yuzawa Kogen I reckon, link in the first post in this thread. Definitely a place for a clear and sunny blue sky day.
