Another view of the abandoned lodge
There is more than a little snow here.
No building can stand this weight.
There's a roundabout somewhere.
At Happo north face backcountry exit
Every building in Hakuba is different
Good roofs let snow slide off
Some do a mediocre job
And others just aren't steep enough
Most effective design is no roof at all
You also need to think about balconies.
Ski Shuttle bus stop in Echoland.
Check out these huge icicles

This cafe is actually an old bus

Echoland main street 1

Side street with snow walls

Looking down the street of the hostel

There is a house buried somewhere under all that snow

A neglected lodge in the middle of Echoland

This abandoned lodge is slowly succuming to the relentless snow

No building can survive this type of snow onslaught for long

Must have been a grand old lodge in years gone past.

There is a roundabout somewhere there.

At the exit of Happo's north face backcountry zone.

Interesting building design aimed at shedding snow from the roof.

Ugly but effective roof

This whole building needs to be higher.

A more traditional design

Best way to get around snow on the roof is to not have one!

Every building is unique...
