Yeah, I'm going to Niseko next weekend. I really doubt why I chose it now - we are getting powder out of our ears hear in Hokuriku!!
50 cm alone in Kanazawa today..........
-
NIghtskiing tonight, powder will rock

Does anyone know of lodges that can be rented in hakuba or Shiga for a weekend? Maybe big enough to hold 10 people or so?
Anything for a reasonable price yet nice and cosy will do!
cheers

Its in Hokkuriku, between toyama and Fukui, next to the mountains
its damn warm here today- 18-20 degrees perhaps. why does there have to be a heatwave in NOVEMBER?

Great to see Kanazawa Seymour in there. I don't speak with any authority at all, but I've always found it to be a great place. Never too many people, a good variety of levels, and the snow was always good last season. Yet, it is only 30 minutes from a city on the coast.
It doesnt, of course, rate with the good Nagano courses though.
I've only been to Happo once, but I found the lines awful. I think the place is really great - the size is massive, but one particular lift I got stuck for 45 minutes each time, and it wasnt even close to the end of the day
When is it gonna start snowing? This heat is bothering me!

Goryu got a bit last night
Is it really coming or was this just a freak? Whats it like in Hakuba and other places in the Alps at the moment?
btw I'm new to this forum and skiing in Japan. But I know that friends of mine were skiing on Happo at the end of November last year. Is this early and if so, do resorts open early if the snow really falls hard?
cheers, can't wait

Just wondering, with the crazy amounts of snow we have had in Hokkuriku recently, many hills now over 4m worth of snow, what is Japan like for dealing with avalanches? When it gets this deep do they start blasting the mountain?
