I love your videos. Shame the Panorama Coaster was not running as that is what I expected you to ride. Was it because it was too windy? Did they advise you it was not running before buying the gondola ticket? However the Panorama See Saw, I have no idea about. It's such a dumb ride, it doesn't give you any real panorama view (especially the rear seat), and there is no thrill or speed element to it. Seems like such a poor ride to have built there. They would have been better with a ferris wheel (even a small one), better capacity and more people likely to go on it. I've been skiing at Gala Yuzawa before. There is a Shinkansen station in the base of the gondola station which only opens in the winter. Easy for a snow skiing day trip from Tokyo. From memory they used to do artificial skiing in summer, and looks like there is still some plastic down on some of the runs, but I didn't see anyone using it. do they still have summer skiing?
