muikabochi 208 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Actually looks like Niigata will warm up a bit again then possibly snow end of the weekend/early next week.

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The cloud's just lifting in Hakuba to show a dusting on the trees at about 1100m. Just above the top of Sanosaka. Yes, slowly moving down. Don't think Happo will be able to make it for Saturday though Link to post Share on other sites
Sciclone 2 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Unfortunately rain is predicted during the week to wash away all the beautiful white stuff that has just fallen, but they reckon another 8 cm or so on Sunday... I'm not holding my breath, but it's good to see nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 This reminds me of the time in Star Trek when Darth Vader kills a storm trooper with his mind due to a really minor slip up. Now that's an episode I'd like to see. Darth Vader's cameo on Star Trek. Welcome to pedants geek corner. Back on topic; good to see some snow in Japan. Hopefully it'll move south in significant amounts. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The amounts that have fallen will very likely melt away in the next few days in most places with the warmer conditions coming. Sorry, wearing my realistic hat. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Grandeco's getting a dusting, but looks like a warm rain will take care of that this weekend. The kid is counting the days until their target opening date of Nov. 25, but... Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The Kagura webcams are making me feel very happy this morning. Together with the ski shop calling me yesterday to say that my new skis are ready to pick up, you could say the start of the winter's in sight. Just took a look at those webcams and .

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thats too bad Metabo!!! You seem to like a lot of Japanese music (?) What else does one hear...? Oddly, I also find some songs I didn't care much for when they came out, I suddenly end up liking when they show up on natsukashii ranking shows. But in any case, I do like Kuwata Keisuke. Maybe it's an oyaji thing. Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 My.Baker and all the local Settle hills will be opening this weekend. I think Baker will be a full opening, but the local ones will only be limited operations. Still I'm hoping to get some turns in Link to post Share on other sites
