Fattwins 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Well the base seems like its finally there read this from Arai now Thursday 18th December 2003, 10:03AM Lightning & Thunder storms overnight brought hail to the Joetsu region, along with colder temperatures and strong winds. Presently, it snowing at ARAI, with the snow level approximately 200 meters above sea level. The strong winds are continuing presently, making the wind chill factor significant. This morning, the guides and patrol members at ARAI have gone up the mountain by Gondola to assess the courses and view conditions first hand. The weather forecast presently appears favorable over the coming week, with snow appearing daily accompanied by even colder temperatures. One other positive factor is that rain appears to be getting squeezed out of the picture by snow, making mountain operations increasingly viable. Sounds like some staff ar poaching lines. Good on them if they are I know that is the benifit of beening on Patrol dam bastards. It is funny in Canada 100 cms will open a mountain. The patrol will put signs up everywhere watch for them rocks, eh. In Japan I do find it takes a bit more to open it up. Well Arai I do hope you open this weekend, cause if you dont the other resorts will be packed and I want space to turn. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hmm,... doesn't the snow melt though? I'm good at scrambled eggs too, but poaching is my speciality. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 i think the fact that u use powder to poach your eggs adds to the spirituality of the winter brekky experience! i have neat trick to aid in poaching too. your eggs come out the fridge, right, so they are cold. but u don't want to mess with the temp of your finely tuned boil. so i dip my eggs in the hot water for 5-10 secs to take the edge off their coldness, and then poach 'em. works a treat. u got any secrets there rach?

crazyski 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 to poach 1 To trespass on (another's property) for fishing or hunting. 2 To take (fish or game) illegally. 3 To make (land) muddy or broken up by trampling. 4a To take or appropriate unfairly or illegally. Sports. 4b To play (a ball) out of turn or in another's territory. We're talking about 4 here. Back home in the midwest US, there was little to do between races, so we often POACHED the park (for snowboarders only, heheeh). It was fun. I like poached eggs. Link to post Share on other sites

mikazooki 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 aaah, you're a faker!! u got no idea how to poach an egg, and are just too embarassed to admit it. poaching (from above source) also means to sink into soft earth or mud when walking. perhaps our araii friend was alluding to a muddy walk to the lifts!!?? (from the site - snow cover at lower lift level is only 5cm) Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I went there last season when there was 2x the amount of snow that there is now and it was friggin appalling. Don't go unless it is coated in a few meters, then it is great. (It rained on me every day this time last year so I may have been somewhat negatively influenced by that fact as well).
