Kurodake // Skiing a CLOSED Japanese Ski Area

The Gusbatcho crew begins this weeks episode in the town of Shibetsu, in Northern Hokkaido. We've heard about this mysterious twin ropeway (Kurodake 黒岳) on the opposite side of the Daisetsuzan range as Asahidake 旭岳 and with a couple days left before the storm... we decide to check it out! To our surprise and delight there is also a world class ice festival in the town (層雲峡温泉). As always let me know what you think! I'd love any feedback, comments, or tips!
