muikabochi 208 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I noticed on the Yuzawa Now report and also the Kagura site that they plan to open until 24th May. That's pretty much in line with what they always aim for, but can they? I agree with the report, seems very optimistic all considering. How about other places that usually open until Golden Week and beyond? Able to? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well looking at the reports Kagura was on 320cm this time last season (and officially on 250cm now). Stretching it! Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Don't think so. Friend of mine was speaking to someone (staff) at Gala the other day, who said they were thinking that mid-April is a realistic closing for Gala (they usually are open until Golden Week in early May).

nippontiger 8 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, just checking Snow Forecast for the next week, its looking very good for the top of Kagura - almost a metre of snow predicted - thats probably the best forecast Ive seen this entire season! Lets hope it materialises - Im hoping to hit Hakuba this weekend!! Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hope that meter lasts 2 months! Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hmm, snow forecast just changed their minds and have now halved the amount of snow they expect in both Kagura and Hakuba. Bah! Link to post Share on other sites

mina2 6 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Went up to Kagura for a few hours yesterday. Don't know about spring skiing, more like summer skiing! Heavy snow, fairly busy. I think that marks the end of my season, I'll be on my bike from now on. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 How busy was it mina - waiting much for the Kagura quad? Link to post Share on other sites
mnmnmn 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Kagura used to be the place I went to when I was based in Tokyo. Really liked that place. I remember snowboarding there in late May, great experience it was with the place boiling up down below. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Good friend of mine went yesterday. They enjoyed it, said it wasn't too busy (considering) - snow was heavy but what can we expect? Still almost all open. Link to post Share on other sites

ILoveZao 8 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am always surprised how Kagura can keep open so long..... good for them I suppose! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 scouser, no I think that's if for me. My mind is on other things now, I had a decent season. Link to post Share on other sites
