Gunma Boarder

Sakae Club?

I always forget the Myoko resorts are in Niigata!

What's it doing in Muikamachi now? Looks like Tanigawa is getting some snow but I imagine it could be dryer.

Akakura Onsen

This makes me hopeful for next Saturday. Thank you for the hard work Maybe it was just a fluke.

I hope they do too! I'll let you know how it goes

Unfortunately I'm committed to going this Saturday (hotel reservation, happy to get out of the house wife etc.) I'll maybe try to eat around 10 am and ride during everyones lunch. I think the ropeway is always every 20 but I hope I'm wrong

It's too bad it was so hazy. The views were really nice when I went last year. I think I'm going to go this Saturday. Reading about the queue for the ropeway has me a bit worried though. I was hoping to spend the day riding down from the top of the ropeway. Probably still will but looks like I will be doing some waiting. Despite the haze you got some nice pics!

I enjoyed Tangram last year. Spent most of the time in Madarao but had a joint ticket. Here is my TR. Don't know if there will be as much powder as when I went though...... http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/22684-madarao-and-tangram-powder-adventure-feb-16-and-17-2013/page__hl__madarao__fromsearch__1

"Granview BC ridge run" may very well be the narliest thing I have ever heard Details please!

Mike Rich. You hit this trip really good for snow didn't you I think tomorrow anywhere is going to be good! If you do go to Gala looking forward to hear what you think of it. I have never been.

After a sunny day yesterday it's coming down pretty good here! Wish I could take tomorrow off....... Might do some nighta.

You did get the real one, right?

myreale-mail@myrealwebsite.com It's not real

How about respond as soon you get this and I will try to respond right after with my e-mail and you can then send me a phone number after which the message with the e-mail will self destruct leaving no one the wiser

Let's Oze Sounds like you might be coming Bring the Slackcountry Also where should we meet?

If your coming let me know.

Trying to move these conversations over to my new amazing thread http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/23835-what-are-you-doing-this-weekend-want-to-hang-out/page__pid__516519#entry516519 I would guess Iwakura got enough snow to fix what happened last weekend. It might in fact be really good. If I had to guess I would say 30 - 40 cm of fresh snow but that is just a guess based on the Minakami Now report. I have to admit if I had Tuesday off I would consider going then. It looks like a good bit more snow is going to fall between now and then. Wish I could get Tuesday off.......

I'm in Peetan. Kawaba for Sunday. There are some tables near the ticket counter. Lets meet there after lunch. I'll let you set the time. I do pull weeds for home brew. Maybe another time.

I'm having conversations about my weekend plans and possible meet ups on a number of threads and decided to start a new thread. So What are you doing this weekend? Mind if I tag along Feel free to talk about weekend plans and meeting up that has nothing to do with me

I've seen Seki in summer. Only reason I would pick Seki is because I like the hot spring a lot and my family could watch me snowboard from the ryokan across the street! The snow fall numbers are also pretty insane. Other than that I will look into Suginohara and Akakura Kanko (which I assume is the same as Akakan). Thanks for the info

Are you guys going tomorrow? I've been contemplating where to go tomorrow and it is between Iwakura, Houdaigai and Kagura. If you guys go to Iwakura, I will too.

What are peoples favorite Myoko skijos? I want to go too but really have no idea which skijo I would pick.

I'm going to put on my parent cap for a second. If the av risk might be high why risk it? Doing tricks and wall riding is definitely not as fun for me as riding powder but I have been learning for days when venturing off piste might be more dangerous than usual. Hit some side trail stuff and find some fun jumps to hit if the risk is too high especially if you are alone. Also maybe ask someone at the resort?

Planning on being open until May 6th definitely another option.
