iiyamadude 6 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I thought I'd create a Nozzle thread. And start it off with -- the postponed opening date is 27th November but I think it is highly unlikely that they will be able to open anything as the distinct lack of snow is a bit of a show-stopper. Forecast for the week isn't looking snowy at all either. But hey it's Nozzle, it'll pull through. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Actually the resort seems to have announced another week postponed opening, so apparently aiming for 4th December. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 New three-month definitely-maybe forecast from the JMA later today. Last one had December biased towards "cold", so bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Only a bit on the top slopes right now. Clear sun lined up for the next few days. Perhaps snow on Friday, but I really doubt there'll be enough to open up this coming weekend, there will need to be another delay. Link to post Share on other sites
s3phis 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm arriving there on the 6th unless I get called up early due to snow. Regardless, I think the snow will be earlier this year than last year. 2009~2010, I think we had decent snow around 15th last year with the roads being closed from the 19th onwards. 2008~2009 season was worse, we didn't get any respectable snow until the 25th. I suspect we'll have a big dump of snow around mid Dec and then another dump around early Jan. I suppose I'll keep you guys updated when I get there Link to post Share on other sites

gnarly-dude 1 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Good to be remined that sometimes things don't kick off for another few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Resort officially looking to open now on 11th December. Looking good for that though Tues/Wed onwards looks like it will bring snow. Link to post Share on other sites
s3phis 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Had some snow last night. The base is still a bit sparse but it's looking good for the 11th Dec opening. As predicted, our snow is looking to arrive a little bit earlier this year! Unfortunately, the snow-cams on the mountain have snow stuck on them so I can't see what it's like up there but I expect it's looking pretty promising >_<. Link to post Share on other sites

s3phis 0 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm stuck behind a desk for most of the time and I've got a bad habit of causing blizzards on my days off. I can honestly say I have not seen more than 3-5m of Nozawa at a time for the past 4 or 5 years. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Some O-tenki-shohnen you are. Maybe tie a Teru-Teru-Bohzu on you. Link to post Share on other sites
s3phis 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I laughed... When there's not enough snow, everyone's always saying to just give me a day off work xD. I remember a few years back, my boss was like "oh and can you bring some snow with you?" and I took a bottle of water, "it melted on the way D:"... except we had 30cm the day I arrived >_<. That said, we had 15cm of snow fall at the bottom over night. Snow is still falling but now it's a complete white out as well. Link to post Share on other sites
