SKI 15 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Maybe in higher places but it won't be much and not anything that will make much difference I would think. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Difficult to think it will snow down again here. We usually get one last dump but I'll eat my (edible) hat if that happens. It was 16 degrees yesterday! Having said that, it says it was snowing a bit up at the top of Kagura this morning. Link to post Share on other sites
gogalago 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 despite indications to the contrary I remain a believer in the last dump... got some coming in this week, mostly on friday apparently. The temperature has been plummeting in Hakuba. Call me a foolish optimist, but I think somethings up for next week too. Link to post Share on other sites

TJ OZ 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Monday is looking good for a decent amount of snowfall. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 When you say decent what do you mean? 40cm? Kagura got anothet 5cm or so overnight apparently and some chance of snow tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Forecasting at the moment for 20+. They are usually pretty conservative with their predictions on snow-forecast and most times this year you could add 50-100% on what they were saying. Not getting too excited but I will be definitely out in it. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to be a mini cold snap for next week, I think I'll get out about Tuesday again, sweet! Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to be a mini cold snap for next week, I think I'll get out about Tuesday again, sweet! After 25 years of snow sports I've still got no idea how they measure snow depth. All I can tell you is if you cut down through the snow that fell last night to the crust from the day before, it measures about 25-30cm this mornig at the top of Happo.

Matt 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Snow-forecast is usually out by a factor of three. If it says 10cm at the top it means 30cm so 3cm means about 10cm. I've been in Hakuba 9 seasons and thats a fairly consistent thing I've noticed since they started doing forecasts for here. I guess they don't have anyone here in Japan actually checking to see if their predictions are correct or not.. They get the frontal snow down but vastly underestimate the lake effect snow. plus they don't forecast the local microclimates well - Like the difference between snowfall at Cortina and Happo (Cortina almost always gets more)...

Up at Tsugaike this morning and got some nice turns in on about 20cm of fresh. Went up to watch some mates in the Big Air comp up there today. One of our cooks won the comp last week with a perfect 900. Link to post Share on other sites
