muikabochi 208 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I hope you are going to totally give the lifts a miss as well and just hike. Out of principle. Link to post Share on other sites

Kasu Snow 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Gifu will get snow in this week. I can have a free time and go Meihou on weekend Gifu should be great this weekend if these snow predictions have come true . . . We're going to Takasu, I like the wide slope at the beginner's area to have my kid play around on. I wonder if the snowfall will slow it down too much, since it's such a gentle grade?

Kasu Snow 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Two hours to get up to Takasu from Nagoya on clear roads. Can anyone guesstimate how long it'll take on Saturday morning, given the recent snow? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Not sure what I'm going to do. It will depend on what I see out of the window tomorrow morning. I don't think I can wait until the sun comes out because it doesn't look like it will for quite a while! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Get yourself in the trees muika! Still coming down good and getting more powdery. Another great little morning. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Will be at Jigatake in Nagano near Hakuba this Sunday, going with friends! It is a small resort but has great snow apparently! We will have a first timer with us, so that is the reason for my friend choosing this resort! Will have to see how it is! I have never been there before! I will report on it next week!

ippy 66 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i reckons im hitting kagura tomorrow since ill be on the slasher, then onsening it (apparently its because a massive group have hit up wadagoya its fully booked (and will be until tuesday)). Then on sunday i reckon ill take the opportunity to cross off gala and ishiuchi from the hit list since im right there I might on the other hand ride naeba or maiko instead on saturday... but i really want something familiar just so i can enjoy being on my powder board and not thinking "i should really head to this lift over here so i can review it properly even though it looks kinda trash". Plus i want a couple of days on naeba in truth. No point really just riding it for slightly onger than a half day (since i probably wont get there until about 11). Waxed, setback, a slightly tweaked back from a tumble at kagura and a dose of the squits! im good to go! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yikes! I am sure you will have fun though, tons of snow again and still coming down. Unlikely, but IF I get out I'll just look for the gnaked gaijin! Link to post Share on other sites
