Lovin the snow laced eye.

Sticker?

All winter we were aiming to move to Niseko and continue snocam. But just this week have decided to stay in Thredbo for summer. Will do Chamonix for a couple of weeks so Europe will be appreciated.

that looks fantastic frog! I would have loved a one stop info shop when I was planning our trip.

good idea and nice work.

SPaz! Thredbo too good to leave? or is it that you "went on" in Thredbo so now you have to "stay in Thredbo"

Great Linky Pete. I know it's asking a bit much but is there any easily accessibly info on the size of each resort (in Ha)?

The Frog

30-09-2009, 04:18 PM

What do you mean by size? It already has
- Max. elevation (m)
- Vertical rise (m)
- Difficulty (beg/int/adv)
- No. of runs
- No. of lifts

Great link, look forward to seeing the rest!

Pistonbroke http://www.freshpeaks.com/compare-ski-resorts.html is a good website if you want to compare a bunch of ski area's (not just Japan) and one thing it does have is "ski area" in ha.

It doesn't have all the fields of information for everything, but it is pretty good.

With all the comments I heard this week about it being as good as Japan I figured I didn't need to go. graemlins/cold.gif

I must say I really like the site's expansion, it should attract some more summer traffic and may even keep the forums a little bit more lively.
