Go Native 70 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Powder day today up in Niseko. A surprising amount of snow has fallen throughout the day. Surprising because no one forecast it. I climbed Chisenupuri this morning and had a great run down in up around knee deep goodness. Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nothing promising at all on the latest unisys charts - perhaps a 1 day cold blast middle of next week and then back to very spring-like greens and yellows. Im starting to think my March powder dream trip isnt going to happen this year. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Maiko was surprisingly good today, Gary. Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, certainly looked that way from the pics! Im gonna wait until thursday before making a decision for this weekend - looks like there could be some precipitation on Friday and Sunday into Monday and that might fall as snow higher up.

Mick Rich 78 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yep, looks like a couple of inches' worth has also settled here in suburbia (Miyazakidai), and as I'm only 20 mins by train from Tokyo, I'm guessing there as well, which should be fun for all the commuters!

Chriselle 158 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Took me 4 hours to get in to work today. All the mountain passes are closed. I found a tiny off the beaten path...."path" and got over one pass. It even gave the LandCruiser a workout. Lots of snow for Shizuoka for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well, as it is right now I may be staying in a hotel tonight as all the passes are still closed. Seems to have warmed up some so they may open by evening. Good onshore wind waves at the beach today my wife was saying. Link to post Share on other sites
