ippy 66 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 whee, feezing level drops to 0 on sunday in nagano according to the 6 day reports. Then on sunday night/monday morning it looks like a proper hit coming our way. Yay for the top up. If you do have the days off, then Monday and tuesday could well be a decent couple of days to get out there by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes lets hope happens. It's next week though, so I don't take too much notice. [see: what happened to the good snowfall that we were going to get this week, as told last week, etc.] Link to post Share on other sites
akitapow 1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 sad to say it, but it definitely looks like winter is ENDING here in "snowy" Akita I was keeping my fingers crossed but its been raining for the past few days, even my local ski hill closed down due to the rain...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hmm could do with another proper blast of winter, even up here. Link to post Share on other sites

yodel 0 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Looks like a blast of winter on the way. Let's hope it gives us some goodies and isn't the last. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 How do you like 'em apples? The sunday/monday forecast for akakan has already dropped in numbers But on the plus side, kagura is looking good for the weekend... http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=3 Link to post Share on other sites

CnnmnSchnpps 0 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 But on the plus side, kagura is looking good for the weekend... http://www.snowjapan...ail.php?resid=3 Sweet! If that forecast holds, I'll have to do a quick daytrip out there on Monday (after 4 days in Hakuba! ) Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks like my Hakuba trip is finally on! Just got a brand new pair of Smith I/O goggles and a couple of Hakuba Alpen Resort lift tickets courtesy of Snow Japan which Im looking forward to making good use of. Hopefully the snow Gods will be on our side this weekend....! Link to post Share on other sites

CnnmnSchnpps 0 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Kagura was epic on Tuesday. Huge dump and able to enjoy it to the fullest by staying up on the mountain. First lift with the entire mountain to myself and the 2 other guys that stayed overnight at 和田小屋. Waist deep in places. Craazy Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Wow! Wish I could've had that day off work! I wonder if we might get another powder day or two before the seasons out.....? Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Tuesday was near epic for me as well. Most of Happo-one was closed on Monday due to weather which meant a full day and night of powder to remain untouched. I was the first one up at Skyline along with a handfull of the resorts instructors hitting the powder. It was glorious. Even the usually stiff patrol dudes were smiling and giving the odd hoot and holler. And with not many people on the mountain the fun lasted most of the morning. Best day I've had in many years.

muikabochi 208 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Gala was really good yesterday as well. Always good to get a bonus day like that in Gala. Note to self - don't lose lift ticket next time. Link to post Share on other sites
Kansaiash 6 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Tuesday seemed to be the day to be out. I took a day off and used my Dynaland lift pass. Enjoyed about 20-30cm of fresh snow and lots of fun tree runs. Thanks snowjapan for the lift pass. Link to post Share on other sites
