Snow forecasts?
Loch Ness replied to The Frog's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
SkiJapan Administrator, Thanks for this information. I have complete trust in the forecasts provided by your network and the resorts. The only reason that I posted my last message to The Frog is that he is well regarded by many in Australia for not only his forecasts, but also his access to interesting analysis/charts, etc. I am new to this DB this season and can`t wait to begin reading the forecasts that this site produces - and totally can`t wait until I'm riding Niseko next Jan/Feb!!! Thanks, LN -
