Hi All!
Can anyone verify some verbal advice that I received stating that skis/splitboards are not allowed on the Shin-Hotaka ropeway? I wish to ski tour the Hotaka massif and am otherwise well prepared (experienced, educated, got an appropriate buddy, maps, gear etc) but due to time constraints would prefer to be able to use the ropeway to reach our base of the Nishi-Hotaka Sanso quickly rather than losing a day to the climb.
I’m prepared to pay the extra luggage charge as our packs plus splitboards will exceed the 6kg luggage limit.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
