muikabochi 208 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Kagura can be awful in places for that. Forecast has looked great a few times but hasn't pulled off. Still not here, waiting for it to start dumping properly still. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Bottomless in Niseko today too. Thigh to waist deep, super light powder. Face shots with every turn! It was good! Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Probably had around 80cm up here in Rumoi...northern Hokkaido today. I'm curious to see if this system made it's way inland to Asahikawa (Kamui Links) or not. If so, I'll be out tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Looking like another big one rolling in on Tuesday so hopefully you will cop some then Muikabochi. The next system should really fill up the tree areas here. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I sure hope so. The last 'system' that promised so much didn't show really it's face. Link to post Share on other sites
sand 17 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Vid of Hakuba thigh deep Christmas powder at Hakuba 47. This was at about 2 in the afternoon, hope others got in some pow for Christmas Link to post Share on other sites
smostyn 1 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Fantastic video! We have not been in that sort of snow before and your video has us so excited. We will be in Hakuba in about 10 days. Cant wait! Thanks for posting the video. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yuzawa area missing out on all this is quite distressing. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Nice vid sand but if that's thigh deep I'll become a snowbaorder! Can still see your skis on just about every turn. Thigh deep is when the snow is up to your thighs, not just the spray Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, I thought it looked about boot-knee high! Nice little video though - hopefully it will actually be thigh deep when I get to Hakuba tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites

Can still see your skis on just about every turn. Thigh deep is when the snow is up to your thighs, not just the spray true the vid doesn't show being thigh deep. but that was taken at about 2 PM and by then was extremely tracked out (as can been seen). Early on when it was fresh it was most definately knee - thigh deep. Link to post Share on other sites
