joshnii 2 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Good conditions for summer skiing out there today. At Ishiuchi Maruyama. Brilliant sunshine, heavy snow and feeling more like summer than mid-winter. (Well, maybe a slight exaggeration!) Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Oh dear. So how was the snow, dare I ask? No new snow to play in, still cover down there? Link to post Share on other sites

Golf74 0 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nozawa has been fairly average from mid mountain down for the last week. We had a good fall of snow to village level on thursday night and into friday but apart from that its been snowboarding up top and wakeboarding at the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 was a blue sky and no wind today at Hakuba, took the liner out of my jacket and just wore the shell. Went very cloudy just after lunch and started to snow quite moderately about 4pm, unfortuntely it only lasted an hour or so Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Off skiing with my daughter from tomorrow for 3 days, so will see how things are, but not expecting too much. Actually I haven't been much this year only 4 times so far, been busy but also with the lack of fresh snow not been so enthusied to ski on either ice bound or slushy slopes. Never the less I guess I will get in another 4 or 5 times before this season is done, maybe! Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 It's absolutely pissing down with rain here in Yuzawa at the mo. PLEASE let it turn to snow overnight! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Absolutely puking snow in Kutchan at the moment and looks set to continue much of the night. Think this is going to be a bit of an epic dump! Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Good for you mate. You sure are getting the best of it this season by the sounds. The forecast does have SNOW on there so fingers crossed it will have turned to snow by the time we wake up! Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nope. Resorts lower down are in for a really rough end of season I think. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Naeba/Kagura seem to be getting regular dustings while we get nothing down here, so things should be fair up there. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Lower resort area is having difficult season. Luckily Zao is high up and snow is good condition. Also less than usual I think. Link to post Share on other sites
