In this image on the Guess Where thread, there's what looks like a lift going up to the gondola from the south and a course (courses?)

 

I do not recall seeing those.

 

A bit of research and it seems there was (is?) a lift/course called おおひろ. Ou-hiro? Seems it was running when the March 11th earthquake struck, but it's absent from the current map of Marunuma Kogen.

Presumably it is closed then. Anyone ever ridden that?

Is that the bottom right triangle of the photo?

 

If so I have ridden there.....I actually got stuck at the bottom at the end of the day as they shut the lift off before the others, but they hadn't roped off the entrance to the run yet....the lifty had to give me a ride on the skidoo back up the slope

I have never actually been on that run but would like to.

Does look like it has been on and off in recent years. This year = off.

Google says it's about 40km. It's probably only about 7-8km more than going to White World. Not an overtaking road so if you get behind trucks or white van ojisans, it can be frustrating.

I'd say about 40 minutes.

Going to be over in that area next month for a few days. Might climb up that mountain there. I remember some fine photos muika took of the nearby lake as well which looked beautiful.
