So what you up to this weekend? Im off to nozawa.

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 My season is currently looking to be much more limited than previously expected/hoped. Nevertheless, will get up to Inawashiro this Sunday and Monday. Despite hoping for some views, weather forecast looks like another head-in-the-clouds, zero-visibility couple of days. But, I'll take it. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Looks like 40cm or so due tonight. It was raining but soon turned to snow. I am hoping to finally get out there on Thursday. Have fun in Hokks folks. Hope to see your pics up. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Might get a day out if possible on Saturday but depends on boy in Japan as he is sick. Again. Bloody asthma. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Pukage factor is set to UBER Serious snow up here in Rumoi. At Kamui right now ... A bit windy but not too bad. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 sooooo... kandahar on nozawa? I swear to god the first time i went there, we got to play on it. But ive never been able to ride it since. Its always "only japan ski club" or some such. I mean it hasnt opened yet this season at all, but im always watching across for those lifts running. I do remember thoroughly enjoying it so just curious if the plebs ever get to run it and maybe the last two times i was there last season (3 days over jan bank holiday and a random saturday in march last year) was just bad timing?

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Did a few hours nighta at Rusutsu today.....great. The ungroomed runs, whilst obviously UBER chopped and tracked after a full day, were still soft and powdery. The sides if the trails gave some great face shots and the missus us really progressing.....linking turns easily now and starting to get confident. Having a few beers in the Izakaya in the main hotel.....the Rusutsu pork miso nabe is well recommended. Can't wait for tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wow!! It's super light Hokkaudo pow-pow...."groomers" are boot to knee deep and the sides are knee to waist if very light and dry powder. It's still snowing pretty hard, so visibility isnt the best but the wind isn't so strong so it's all good Link to post Share on other sites
