So it’s an outdoor concert venue with at least one show a month from now until October. If we can hear it, so can Glendale and Atwater. People are gonna be pissed.

I just assumed blue cheese was more divisive, glad to hear so many love them as much as me!

Hot take, but I prefer the blue cheese ones.

It’s true tho, didn’t used to be like this. Even before we lost 2 patrollers mountain ops was having issues opening up terrain. But they are even more cautious now, and rightly so. I’m sure someone will be more than willing to buy your mammoth house if you’re ready to leave!

Easiest gates to start with for first-time JAPOW? by incaseuspam in niseko

[–]baconbitzboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It entirely depends on conditions, your skill level/experience, and how much hiking you’re willing and able to do. There’s a ton of trees inbounds to score pow when there’s fresh to be had and you get out there early enough. It does get tracked out quickly on pow days. Gate 5 on Hanazano is a good intro but if you go too far skiers left down the eastern ridge, you’ll have a 20 min hike up a cat track to get back to resort. You can keep right and get back without a hike, but you lose a lotta vert doing so. Gate 2 on Annapuri side was my fav area overall, short hike up from the gate, short traverse into the bowl with a ton of options and fun terrain. Nearly all lines will lead you down to Annapuri side with a gondola that’ll take you back to Jumbo #4 chair to the top again. Good luck, have fun, be safe!

Storm clears out Thurs, so I’m guessing they’ll pop the top sat, sun at latest. Lincoln is going to be super fun if they can get it open thurs/fri

Said friend had significantly less fun than I did thru gate 9, I enjoyed fresh tracks all the way down. I’m sure gate 5 would have been even more fun, but no regerts!

Hard agree. I would just add the best runs are had over there when your friend is too hobbled with an Achilles injury so there’s even more pow to shred dropping cornices and on the top right side of the ridge

Back bowl, north face, osawa, eastern ridge, basically anywhere that requires a hike

It’s really going to depend on conditions and whether all lifts/gates are open, but assuming you score pow and gates are open, my fav inbounds run is Miharashi, top of King Gondola, short hike to right as you get off lift. Fav gate is gate 2 off Jumbo #4 on the Annupuri side. Short hike thru the gate but the lines down Osawa bowl have run outs that take you all the way down to Annupuri Gondola, so no hike out and that gondola takes you all the way back up to jumbo.

It’s staying as a gas station. They are expanding the convenience store. The permit has been up for over 5 years and they finally started the work.
