We don't do interviews in English for our high school entrance exams FT. They have an interview with a panel of Japanese staff. -

Ewok, BPG was hitting the kicker in the park with me yesterday -
madness! I've seen those boats get popped upside down by smaller surf, and then right themselves and keep on going.

yep, it was beautiful up there Tsonda. But it was weird. It was literally only like that right up on the peak of the resort/mountain. Then nothing, not even snow on the ground, below a certain level. Just suddenly disappeared. -

Headed out to Mizuho today with BPG. The snow was non-existent where they had not been pumping the snow making machines. Except for right up on top which was crusted in white and quite beautiful. Here are a few pics. Had some fun in the park. BPG hit the small kicker with me for the first time, and was getting some confidence to jump. Might post a vid if I can get it online. -

Nice TR mate! And classic spoiler! -
Snow quality: Hokkaido Vs Nagano
bushpig replied to Haydn's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Also depends where the reading has been taken. The top of Niseko gets -15, but my guess is that those reading for the Nagano resorts are coming from mid or lower mountain. Also, which resorts have you been checking? Nagano is a big place, with some dinky little low altitude resorts, and some big resorts at much higher altitude. There is even quite a difference between some of the higher ones. Also, I wouldn't look at daily comparisons (I assume you are looking day to day), but monthly averages. Don't forget that Hokkaido is quite a bit further north, and so naturally have colder temps. -
