skidaisuki 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Amazing how everything comes back to the tired old Hakuba vs Niseko thing in the end... Oh well - both places are likely to have good snow by the weekend. SdS Link to post Share on other sites

If you have time to waste, Google "fuyugata" because that is what is going to hit Japan. No need to look at little numbers of snow-forecast.com. Link to post Share on other sites

Why blame it on the polarisation in every thread where there's a disagreement. Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Apparently not easy at all. I can't even see one of my posts in that thread, but... is that the best you can come up with?! Quote: Mr SKI insinuates I wanted Niseko to fail because I said Niseko apartments weren't a definite buy. Retraction with the words "oh but Hakuba people are like this". = Quote: Possibly people in places that are trying to catch up. Oddly some people do not like to see success. ???!!! What are you on?

thursday 1 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 try this: It was on the page after Originally Posted By: SKI I wasn't referring to you Mr Wiggles, sorry if it came out like that. I know of one or two narrow-minded people in Hakuba who would love to see Niseko be toppled. I have little respect for those people anyway but they do exist. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Well found there thursday. And I stand by those comments. So what, exactly? What are we proving here other than perhaps the sensitivity of some? Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Oh - sorry. But the fact I assumed incorrectly doesn't invalidate my point. Anyway, we should all be happy to see "fuyugata" on the weather charts. I'm stoked. SdS Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 With around a metre of snow over the last few days and at least that to come over the next few believe me I'm happy! Will get up for my first nighta of the season tonight and it's absolutely puking this afternoon, so yeah really happy Link to post Share on other sites

fier 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why was I worried? All of my friends are heading to the snowy Alps that are in front of my nose while I am going miles away only to find there is no snow there. Well, since yesterday there has been a huge improvement -40 cms of snow in Hakuba and the resort is now open. On that note what are the do's and don't in Hakuba? What to avoid and what to experience (which slopes to go to, which bars/restaurants to visit..). I have no Japanese language skills whatsoever. Is this a problem? (Perhaps, this is a subject of a separate topic, however. I apologise if so) Link to post Share on other sites
Hakuban 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Originally Posted By: fier Well, since yesterday there has been a huge improvement -40 cms of snow in Hakuba Er, what??? Since yesterday there has not been a huge improvement at all! Are you sure you're not mixing up names or something? We're hoping they will come in the next 48 hours. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Curious that. Hokkaido has had 50cm since yesterday. Yes, have you got the names mixed up? Link to post Share on other sites
fier 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well, to be precise I looked yesterday in 2 different sources and one of them was showing 15 cms and the other 30 cms (I tend to trust the latter, perhaps wishful thinking). The resort was closed. Today there is 40 cms and the resort is open: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=63 Is this the correct info? Link to post Share on other sites
Hakuban 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 fier You are looking at forecast info. Please keep up to date with the text commentaries on here: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/hakuba-now.php Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 17, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello fier Thanks for using the site. The information displayed at the top of the page is the 'official' snow depth data provided by the resort. The table showing lots of weather data below that is a forecast, not actual numbers. For a daily running commentary on how things are shaping up, the best thing to do is read the Hakuba Now report and then you can look/use this other data as something else to go into the mix. But the best picture will be had by reading the reports, not just bare data. Lets just hope that by the end of this coming weekend, this kind of worry won't be a problem! Thank you.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 hopefully you won't have anything to worry about come Friday, the snow is currently dumping northern Honshu and will sweep south as the huge system over China and the Japan sea moves across towards Japan.
