Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Not bad for a new ski in Japan for sure. Pray for powder in Hokkaido? Not that necessary!! Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Fair enough deal. I wouldn't worry too much about praying for powder, but you might want to toss out a few hopes for a longer season than in the past few years. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Plenty of snow through march and april, but powder season has faded by late february in recent years. Hoping the forecasts for a hotter than usual summer will mean a return to reliable dumps well into march this winter. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 We had more snow in Niseko in March than in Feb this last season! Just come up north if you want more powder for longer Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Oh, I know there are dumps in March, but when you have to plan 10 or more days ahead for a three or four-day stay, it's just not reliable enough. Link to post Share on other sites
