An increasingly warm skier right now. Getting too warm too quickly here. Dread to think how hot this summer will be. -

jez replied to peter's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Hakkoda is well sweet, I agree. But Nozawa (Nozzy, Ocean11?) takes it for me. -
What would you call it?

How about "suberu-er". Forgive the poor attempt at silly Japanese.... -
Tell me - Shiga Kogen or Hakuba?
jez replied to ian's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I pretty much agree with what is being said here. My personal favorite is 47/Goryu, but as a whole I really love Shiga Kogen and all it stands for ....great place to spend a few days. Both really cool areas though. -

Is this a bad season?
jez replied to sarge's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I'm having a friggin' excellent season. Seems as though this week is mild and not too good, but the snow will come back and thesre are always dry periods every season. Wicked snow before this week in Nagano, Niigata and Yamagata.
