Greenroome 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Congratulations Mike, and thanks for the pics and the regular updates during this early start to the season. I'm so excited. What a day! I started the day hooting at the Niseko and Furano pics on my laptop, and then I nearly fell off my bike on the way to work when I happened to glance up at the mountains and saw a very decent blanket of white right there on Sapporo Teine and its sisters!!! Needless to say when the lights turned green I lit up the back tyre of the Momma Charry and did the monsterest wheelie all the way to town! First break I got I was straight down to Odori Park to stare at it some more - and no, it wasn't a dream! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My god - how I HATE some people on this site. Nice pics, lets hope the temp drops some more in the next few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

Down to village level this morning. Hiked to 1,000m for my first turns of the season. From nothing to knee deep powder. There were pockets of pow up to 64cm deep. Was able to ski back to approx. 500m Barely a scratch on the skis First day of this season is 20 days earlier than last season FKNA!!! Stoke!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 What are you talking about Mike?! Still plenty of snow above the quad. Don't worry will be snowing to village level tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Go Native, is it snowing there now? It doesn't look much like it from the webcams. What's the temp? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Around 7 degrees in the village atm. The colder air won't come through till later tonight. Check the cams tomorrow morning though and you should see plenty of the white stuff. Here's hoping anyway! Storms with lightning and thunder moving through the region currently. Hopefully this is the leading edge of the cold front. Link to post Share on other sites
