Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just wondering what people are up to this weekend. I just booked a hotel for Saturday night near Madaro and will be riding form early Saturday through midday Sunday. Looks like we have some snow coming, so I am hoping for some crazy powder If anyone else is in the area let me know! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Keen to hear about Manza and Kusatsu, onehunge. It's looking increasingly like this season I'm not going to get to any places outside of my area. Link to post Share on other sites

Kansaiash 6 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm heading to Hida Nagareha this weekend. If anyone else is going too let me know. Also does anyone have any knowledge to drop on me about Nagareha? I'll be up there for Sat and Sun but it doesn't look very big so I will most likely end up exploring and looking for tree lines.

If only it was a day for the groomers! i share your misery! Alas, i have to go out because... well, its a fekkin drop and the way this seasons been so far, who the hell knows if there'll be another one. Just in case youve forgotten, it was raining two weeks ago (its also going to rain below 1000m on monday). Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 onehunga. Am i right thinking that you need to kind of go "all the way round" to get from Kusatsu to Manza in winter? Obviously it's fairly quick across the top out of winter, but that's closed right? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It has been distinctly average in this part of Japan, compared to the usual high standards, I would say. Though a big part is timing and what you make of it isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites
