Mintyjulep 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 We've just arrived! Got held up by a truck that had slid on the road into hakuba. Just read there was 80cm overnight and it's still snowing - awesome!! Unfortunately we're both sick! I saw a doctor in Kyoto yesterday but we have to find one for mr Minty tomorrow, until then I'm giving him my antibiotics in the hopes of clearing us both up in time to have a few days here before we head to nozawa Link to post Share on other sites

Mintyjulep 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Oh my god i am so stoked for everyone who got to ski/board today - it looked beautiful up there from the bottom, oh and quiet!! Every field I looked up at was so peaceful looking - the one I counted the skiers on was goryu I think - 10 coming down the run at the same time - seriously, I wish I had been up there. I talked to some Aussies here for their first time - they can't get over how short the queues are. Oh, and from the bottom looking up it seemed visibility was poor today - nope, the Aussies told me it was perfect. Hubby is dosed up to the eyeballs and sleeping right now, so fingers crossed for a nice slow day skiing tomorrow, followed by 10 days of awesomeness over hakuba and noz Link to post Share on other sites

smostyn 1 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 We hot Happo One today and I didnt think the place was too crowded at all. Some of the locals we spoke to said it was busier than normal though. We the only lift I waited in a queue for was the gondola and that was only for about 2-3 minutes. Great day skiing Link to post Share on other sites
