ippy 66 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nozawa is pretty shitty today to be honest. Four lifts open... two bunny slopes and one twenty second run... what is it with Saturdays this season? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Strong winds I see. Hardly any wind here, all seems calm. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 No wind here either to be honest. No wind up at the uenotaira area just looking at the trees. Last Sunday was some really strong winds but the gondolas ran. Ah well, musnt get cynical, especially now I have my season pass and I just learned you trade it in for day tickets. So now I no worries about getting it pulled Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Absolutely baking hot on the train at the minute. Its gonna be another sticky day out there by the looks of it. Hopefully yamabiko can deliver the goods. Oooh ooooh nailed my first real tripod yesterday, so er, that was something at least Eta raining in iiyama Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 This might as well be the ippy blog thread... is no one else out this weekend or sumfink? Good clean leg burner today. Spent it predominantly riding top to bottom. Uenotaira had great conditions... super fast and just icy enough to keep you nipping along. Once you get to the top of Schneider area and onto the panorama conditions started getting a bit stickier. Compared to higaki base though it was pretty decent. Also nice to get a few runs of it since I'd skipped it every other time I've been there prior to today. What else? Ushikubi was locked down, got one run on it and was super sticky. Not really worth it, especially once you got to higaki and it immediately turned to treacle. Most of the little paths were good fun today. Worth it just to hit up them so long as you stayed above the gondola mid point. All in all good day. Better than yesterday at least. Gonna take a bit of snow though to repair some of those walls coming off the skyline. I can't honestly see then keeping ushikubi shut either after next weeks prospective fall. So I reckons if we get some decent figures you're going to see that mid area open and maybe the ushikubi line as well. Looking forward to next weekend. 10% of my season pass costs eaten up. I need to make sure I break even and then I can luxuriate on it Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yesterday sucked for low elevations. But over 1000m at least today was alright. But I take the point... and apropos of riding past it, every time I see kijimadaira I really want to ride it. What a gorgeous looking run. Definitely on this years hit list... iiyama have a bus to kosha? Eta has ryuoo started its night a already. Can see the floodlights on up there Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Wild guess. I reckon he might be angling at 'it hasn't begun for most people'. Sticking my neck out, admittedly, but that might be it. Link to post Share on other sites
