muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yes it has been a strange season here. Never really got going properly and consistently. Can't quite remember a season like this in this area. I'm hoping for a strong February. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hehe, just passing kosha on the way to iiyama now as it happens. Snow coverage is a little better, but even on the train you snow its really wet. No rain yet, clouds are looking a little more threatening though in the last twenty minutes. I'd expect a couple of mild showers. Its also starting ti get pretty flat light out there as well. Thankfully I already had it in my head it was going to be rough. Im definitely staying the hell off tanuki today. PRobably just a day for hitting park and staying up as high as you can. Train is looking damn busy though for a shitty day, so its going to be bottlenecked at the good spots. Must not get pissed off and just enjoy the cruise Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Update, train wipers are going, its raining. Looks speckly, and clouds don't look too heavy, so hopefully it'll clear up in the early afternoon Eta: nozawa in blanket of cloud above 800m I'd say. Rains starting to come down. Here's to it ****ing off Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Unfortunately it has started raining here too now after holding off earlier. Quite heavy too. Wouldn't be out skiing if you paid me this afternoon! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Unfortunately it has started raining here too now after holding off earlier. Quite heavy too. Wouldn't be out skiing if you paid me this afternoon! started to drop off again. Probably a few hours of intermittent showers. Hoping really for them to let the plebs on Kandahar, though doubt it. Would give me something different at least. Hopefully it's gonna be one of those days that's so shitty it becomes an event Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 There's also a few gaijin on the bus that are clearly on their hols. I feel this burning need to apologise to them Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I said sorry It's looking ugly out there. There's also a few rather large cracks on the steeps coming off skyline into Nagasaka. To be expected, of course. Always going to be first to go. But yeah, kinda rough Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Can you post up Bubba sparx ugly for This thread. Can't copy paste on the tablet, but feel this thread needs some pig swill redneck hip hop nostalgia. Plenty of wet looking people, also really busy out there. Could be alright though on the moguled out parts, looking soft enough to destroy them, and snow is surprisingly slippy at the base. Back soon, see how it goes. Maybe I should buy a cheap post pair of goggles though so my splices don't get trashed... wheres the Japanese blitz spirit ? Lots of rather sullen faces out there. Link to post Share on other sites
