Mick Rich 78 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Have just watched the NHK evening news and they're saying 40-50cm of snow will fall all along the Sea of Japan coast! Hopefully that'll mean more higher up but something's better than nothing!! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 As of 6pm tonight, Kagura is saying it only expects 5-15cm by tomorrow morning. But hopefully tomorrow will bring more in the daytime and beyond. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 25cm or so lower down in Hakuba so far. Not that cold out, so snow quality is snowman snow, which is perfect for building up coverage and opening everything up. Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yes good snowfall. I would expect that if this continues then tomorrow will see the resorts open up more. At last! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 But is it bottomless yet? Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Should be a good weekend everywhere. How is Nigata doing? It is snowing in Akashina now for the first time this year. Last day of school so happy to be done and on holidays. GoNative I think tomorrow will be pretty bottomless, have fun. Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Forecast looks amazing - my advice: stay away from any flat/low angle slopes - a friend of mine got stuck for an hour on the panorama course at Kagura last year! Link to post Share on other sites
