Apres ski doesn't worry me - with 12 in our party, we are bringing our own apres scene! Cheers - Snow. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Snowy, we're nearly at the end of August now, so in Japan we are just a couple of months away from starting to watch the forecasts in earnest. Snow watch time's great here - and you can follow everything on SJ... As for me, I am starting training for the season and head down to the ski shop district of Tokyo to get some new boots and a tune-up, probably early in October. I can't wait to get back to Shiga!

gerard 6 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 A strong system is developing in the South Pacific. A large amount of precipitation is expected at Niseko in the form of Aussies. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 And that precipitation will predominately be amber and frothy. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Probably accompanied with a lot of falling down and loud behaviour. However, there will be pockets of quiet enjoyment of the abundant cold white powder. Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The areas of especially low IQ will experience strong turbulance, but will be extremely localised. Those with an up to date will map will be able to avoid these slow moving lows. Generally the forecast is one of contentment after days of deep pow. Link to post Share on other sites
