muikabochi 208 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Does anyone know if there was once a plan to connect Maiko Kogen and Iwappara together at the top there? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted November 29, 2006 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yes I believe that was the plan. They really are quite close at the top it wouldn't have taken much for that to happen... but it didn't. With the future of Maiko in the balance it doesn't look like it will be something that will be happening anytime soon. (Would be good though). There's a really good summer road going up behind Iwappara, must have cost a fortune but it goes to pretty much nowhere now - basically to the back part of the Maiko bowl. I think they were going to have summer stuff going on up there as well. Great views. Link to post Share on other sites
nori-chan 0 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I like Maiko I hope someone will continue open it. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 That bowl behind the top at Maiko is a decent place to be. If they were connected that would be a big place. It would probably only need 1 lift to connect the places from the top/far side of Iwappara to the bottom of the bowl. Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is Maiko closing or something? Link to post Share on other sites
echineko 1 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I heard that the resort sell Maiko, so if somebody will buy it will continue. It is quite popular resort I think. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboarding-sam 0 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I reckon that would be really good, the snow is often good back of Maiko Kogen. Link to post Share on other sites
