Got off work early and went for a lap. Hit a few of my go to stashes and they were deep. Still lots of holes in runouts quite dangerous if you are really carefull and thinkign about collapsing snow. -

Still very spring like for the start of the season thus the bigger mountain ranges will suck it in a bit more. Tateyama would be nutters about now. What about Hakkaisan they are maybe getting heeps? -

That picture was taken today in the morning. 2 different friends hiked up above the lifts and both got 1000vert meters of fast pow. Needless to say im a bit jealous,,,,, bt I have 5 half days in a row from tomorrow! That picture was from kurobishia about 1600 meters up. Tons of snow at that level and up this year. The bottom well lets ust say thats impossible. -

You can ride down to the skyline at the moment. There is lots of snow from mid mountain up. the upper areas 40 cms above the lifts maybe 30 new to around 1000 meters depending on aspect. -
