rider69 18 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 looks good for sure up there. Looking at the long range forecast though it wont be base snow though it should melt. Link to post Share on other sites

rider69 18 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 The forecast is nice a sunny though. The surf is up on the Nihon Kai if you have a good wetsuit. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just think though, that poor snow that ends up being #basesnow gets all that other heavy snow on top of it's head. It can't be much fun. So this first snow escapes that pain. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 If you look at the yakebi webcam theres slushy snow falling at the moment. Im not getting carried away, but im expecting to be snowboarding this weekend dammit! http://www.snowjapan...bcam/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 lol gonna get sunny but its good to see the white stuff again Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yeah, kinda sucky temps this weekend with things heating up a little all over nagano. But man, if you look at the 6 day forecast at the top of yakebi its a glorious sea of blues. Its hard to think it was just over a month ago when even at the top of these places it was still high teens and low twenties. I thought it was gonna drag on but October has absolutely flown past this year. Link to post Share on other sites

rider69 18 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I admit I think I ws wrong the Alps most likely have their snow base for the season. The melt freeze from the cold nights and more snow next week. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Next Wednesday watch!!!! BASE, how low can you go!

snowdude 44 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Wonder if Kiyosato will get snow, certainly high enough to get snow to the base, will be interesting to see if anything falls there too. Here's to snow watching! Link to post Share on other sites
