SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 A new feature - "Yuzawa Statistics 2004/5" Season - has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-88.html "October 23rd, 2004. The temperatures were dropping, resorts and hotels (and Snow Japan) were busy preparing for the first snow of the season and looking forward to a good winter season. Then it happened... a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the Chuetsu region of Niigata to the north of Yuzawa town around Ojiya and Nagaoka city. Within one hour there had been three extremely powerful earthquakes and multiple strong aftershocks. While the towns and villages around Nagaoka were by far the worst hit, Yuzawa (which is about 50km to the south of the epicenter of the quake) also got a strong shaking and hotels and buildings had to be evacuated. It turned out to be one very long night for many people - and a long month as countless aftershocks hit the region..." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-88.html Discuss it here...

sanjo 2 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Good to see that numbers weren't too bad considering the events of last October. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes hurrah for that, glad to see something relatively positive out of it. We were thinking of including Yuzawa in our tour, but we probably won't make it that far over. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Some pretty steep declines there for some results compared to just a few years back Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Not sure why but it just doesn't appeal (to us anyway) in the same way as Hakuba & Nozawa do. Maybe we just need to know more. Link to post Share on other sites
Yes-please. 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Whats the general feeling now then - that if there had been no earthquake, numbers might have held steady or even (shock horror).. rise? Link to post Share on other sites
