cayote 0 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Snow camping - a worthy topic! There's just something about being in a tent, snuggled up in a down bag during a -10C oyuki night - my dreams are exceptionally vivid - the senses - it's other wordly. Split between two or more, the gear could be manageable. I'd rather see rime ice on the insides of a tent than the insides of a hotel room. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowConnection 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Toque, nice pics. That's GREAT! I would add some explanation. http://www.geocities.jp/sntateyama/SnTateyama/Photo/Tate3peaks.htm Tateyama(立山) is a group name of montains/peaks, usually a group of O'yama(雄山), Ohnanji-yama(大汝山), and Fuji-no-Oritate(富士の折立). When one says "Tatayama", it addresses O'yama, though Ohnanji-yama is the highest. The reason is that O'yama has O'yama Shrine on the top. The summer climing route to O'yama is shown in a red line, which people use in winter. Rohsoku-iwa(ローソク岩:Candle Rock) is standing just below the top. Yamazaki cirque(山崎カール) is a good terrain for skiers/snowboaders. It named with honoring professor Naomasa Yamazaki who issued in 1902 Japan Alps had had glaciers in old old time. http://www.kitanippon.co.jp/pub/hensyu/21c/chap03/052.html Ichi-no-koshi(一の越) col is the pass for Kurobe-ko lake(黒部湖). There are two routes of Oyama-dani valley(御山谷) and Tanbo-daira(タンボ平;田圃平). You can reach Kurbe-daira(黒部平) station or Kurobe-dam(黒部ダム) station. Oyama-dani route is harder and longer. http://strangeworld.cc/~hippo/cross_section/routeTateyama.html Advanced skiers can ski down to Kurobe lake side from O'yama Shrine, called Omae-dani(御前谷) valley route. It has very steep slopes/traversing, and is somewhat hard to find the way to Tanbo-daira. FYR. http://katsuno.cside.com/ski/route/tateyama.htm Link to post Share on other sites
