Have done a little more research and found the following image of areas and affects caused by La Nina between Dec and Feb
Also, the following (between June-August) backs up what was mentioned about the season so far in Chile
Fingers crossed Japan is going to have a good one
Passed through Hakuba in April a couple of years back and have been planning on returning for a real Japanese powder experience (rather than Spring slush).
Have been reading more and more about the possibility of it being a 'La Nina' year - just wondered if anyone knows whether this is likely to result in an epic powder year or one to give a miss
Thanks in advance
