LOL nothing like a Canadian freezing rain event that changes the whole town into an actually skating rink. I once skated in the park for kms do to a 2cm thick rain crust. One of my best memories! The road from Toyoshina to Omachi Tunnel is horrible worse than driving in a snow storm at times.

Its bottomless untill you hit the bottom.

Yeah snow is easy to drive in really it is the ice that gets them everytime!

Next update. The first victim of the Hakuba Snow season. A 15 to 20 year old cherry tree has snapped
under the weight of the new snow. Sad day for the students and teacher at this JHS.
PS still snowing

Lots more snow than forecast

Happo looks to have a foot of fresh at mid. Breaking out the shovel at school today 10 to 15 cms in the parking lot to be cleared.

Dont need to re-open this can of worms do we?

I think you have to buy it here it is a hassle to buy.
the process is something like this. Down load form fill
out mail picture and form, pay at bank then get the pass.
Try to get someone to do it for you in Japan if you can.
Went to Happo yesterday and buying a pass there was like
buying a pass 20 years ago in Canada. Get with the times
get an online system also a modern system to make a pass
if someone walks in.

For people wanting cheap or used tires or even used parts to fix your car
Taihei Tire is a great place to shop. I buy lots from them for cars im going
to use for a season or 2.

Snowing nicely now in town the school kids are excited my kids went crazy!

The freeride is something you put into your bag just in case your beacon explodes or you forget it at home. It
is not a go to choice at all. I wont ride with someone that thinks it is an acceptable beacon. Never put a beacon
on your dog I would hate to find my dog and loose my friend!

I admit I think I ws wrong the Alps most likely have their snow base for the season. The melt freeze from the cold nights and more snow next week.
-
a ghetto lift I like that idea. make a ghetto park for the kids perfect.

Id say 1oo to 150 meters long about 25 degrees or more. Mr.wiggles will have to put some pta time in over there so he will know. The cross country track is set by a snowmobile with a track setting attachment. depending on the loop it is about 700 meters or more.

Yeah it flipped to fall with almost no transition
-
lol gonna get sunny but its good to see the white stuff again

From Hakuba to Tsugaike on a bike there isnt that much up and down.
Still Tsugaike is to flat to warrant a hike up imho.
My trail running up happo has been put on hold due to this snow!!!!
