muikabochi 208 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So, where's on and where's not? Not that I'm going to be going myself. I see Nozawa has postponed opening. And I doubt Kagura will get it going. Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Look at the Niseko webcams - it's getting heavy there....excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 don't think they're opening this weekend though. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hirafu is definitely opening a couple of lifts this weekend and Hanazono may even try to get something going. Not sure if they'll have skiing out to the base but it's snowing pretty heavily at the moment so it's possible. Link to post Share on other sites
deanrobi 2 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Should get a few of the resort manager from Aust out there, they would open up on a few cms of base. Buller open this season just gone early on a base of nothing that was gone by about the following weekend. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted November 19, 2009 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2009 Naeba Now has been updated - no Kagura this weekend. And yes the sun is out here in Yuzawa and blue skies. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Not surprising really. Was just outside turned into a very nice day. 12 degrees right now. Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Any info on Cortina? Sure they won't open officially this weekend but does any lift run there regardless of snow? I'm going there Sunday not to ski but would there be anything skiable, even if it meant walking up the hill? Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Cortina doesnt open untill december. There will be almost no lifts running in Hakuba it is maintence season. The lifts open on the 28th whether or not there is snow for the hikers. There is plenty of high mountain snow. If you are keen to ride go to tateyama. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think I can manage to wait a bit longer. Link to post Share on other sites

SantaCruz 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 All the mountains near Seattle are open, Whistler as well. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Every year it seems to be the same with opening dates at places like Kagura, Nozawa. Either a real struggle or just totally not happening. Perhaps Naeba got it right after all by saying 5th Dec. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 No snow here of course but already down to around zero here tonight, and will drop a few below zero! Nice to see some snow up in Hokkaido though, not much longer before it gets to Honshu! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 So cold there? It's 5 degrees here at the moment. Raining too. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 No major improvement in regards to snow in Tirol. Maybe the temperature being a bit cooler than before so the snow level (altitude) is lower only a little. Probably toward the 28th it will be better for openings here.
