TheOriginalMyoko 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Nice to hear, but as I usually wait a good chunk of 2 months from seeing my first snow to my first ski, I'll hold back on the excitement myself. Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 What a great time of year it is. Cool temps, boots appearing, minis remaining, snow appearing a bit - and lots to look forward to. Link to post Share on other sites
Topless Snowboarding Nun 0 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 how does this compare to the usual first snow on the mountain time-wise? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Probably about average. It was earlier last season but again early snow doesn't point towards a good season. One of the best seasons in terms of over snowfall since I've been here was 04/05. Kutchan recieved over 14m that season but the snows came quite late with little skiing until mid December. Anyway fairly big snowfalls forecast down to about 1000m for tomorrow night with the passage of the typhoon Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 LOTS AND LOTS of pics pretty please. You know I'd be frothing right about now if I was in Hirafu. Hope someone gets up there. Early October pow. Can't beat it. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yey Though it's always a tease the early snow. _Best to ignore it. Link to post Share on other sites
