soubriquet 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You may find they benefit from a warm weather wax. Running from shady crust to sunny slush at Appi felt like putting the brakes on. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 2pints, no it wont according to the forecasts. Leave for Sapporo on 19 and then back home 20th. But next season will be different. I WILL GO IN FEB. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yep this March has been absolutely crap for the most part and is looking like Kutchan may break it's record for the lowest ever March snowfall amount. Still lets not forget that March often rocks and some of the best skiing memories I've had here are from March. Last season March was better than Feb... Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 In like a lion out like a lamb In like a lamb out like a lion 75% of the time this is the case. Japan has a 3month sno window. Once that cold air rocks in then you have about 3 months of snow. The cold air came early and no it is for the most part gone. You have to go higher to find good snow now.
