Go Native 70 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Awesome! At least knee deep pow across the whole mountain. There were heavy snow showers punctuated by brief periods of fine weather and even sun shining through. With plenty more snow on the way this week it's only going to keep getting better. And sorry but I really can't be bothered taking photos. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 There wasn't a lot of snow last night, maybe another 5-10cm. Not enought to completely fill in yesterdays tracks but it's still snowing currently and conditions will be pretty nice up there. King #4 did open yesterday but none the gates accessing the off piste and summit have opened yet. Link to post Share on other sites

projectsplat 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 it has been snowing constantly since we got here. varies from light snow to absolutely puking down. the snow here is awesome. trying to get out for first tracks tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
RobinsonAus 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Is it snowing at the moment? Link to post Share on other sites
projectsplat 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 technically yes, but it is nothing to write home about. this is probably the lightest snow I have seen since we have been here. it has been properly puking all afternoon though. we did a mission into kutchan earlier this afternoon, and when we got off the bus we had to pull our hoods over our faces to protect from the snow, it was dumping that hard. sorry, i tried to stick my head out the window and take a photo, but there is flyscreen over the window. hang on, will upload some pics from eariler today in a few minutes Link to post Share on other sites
projectsplat 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 here is a pic taken earlier today. according to the guage at the top of the lift, it was -10, and it was seriously dumping. Link to post Share on other sites

RobinsonAus 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 How much snow did Niseko get overnight? The Now report says 10cm's but the Hanazono Video report says 30 up top and 20cm's down the bottom... Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Had pretty heavy snow falling all day today. I did a little trek off piste and had a whole slope of untouched hip deep pow to myself...damn it was nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 MONDAY 17th - SATURDAY 22nd DECEMBER 78cm of pow at HQ. LOTS more on the mountain. Superlight and fun as hell.

OkemoLoon 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I miss night skiing, I used to do it all the time back on the east coast. Never in pow like this though. Link to post Share on other sites
RobinsonAus 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Has anybody seen a long range forecast that suggest when the first big dump might actually hit Niseko... I'm sick of 20cm's every day. Link to post Share on other sites
