The Takayama Tearer 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Serious post season withdrawl has got me planning to head up to Norikura tomorrow to see whats about. I went this time last year so I know the terrain etc but I'm afraid I haven't gotten around to completing an Avalanche awareness course, yet. From my understanding so far of spring conditions, is that afternoon sun can produce a 'wet slide'. Is this possible in the current weather/ conditions? No rain is expected tonight, in fact I heard that it is still getting some snowfall at nightime. The line is on the right peak. You hike from around the back of that peak from the bustop (highest road in Japan). Any info appreciated. TTT Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 if you are punching into isothermic snow then dont ride it. there should be no layers in the snowpack after the rain on friday. Link to post Share on other sites
The Takayama Tearer 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Thanks mate, for the pointer. Just got back, there was about 30 skiers up there, bout 3 boarders (not including us). The weather went from spring beautiful to bad.............to worse, we just kept on boarding. Heaps of lines.............the mountain was kind to us. Lots of hiking...........

Fattwins 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Cool we did 600 meters of vert and 800 meters down about 150 was on foot. The weather kept us from going after something a bit bigger. Link to post Share on other sites
