teikiatsulover 6 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Might get another storm or two this month, but not holding my breath. I think it's time to break out the sunscreen and enjoy Spring skiing! I love corn skiing and touring, also a nice time to enjoy groomers, too. Do you not like Spring skiing and touring?

Go Native 70 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 tons left like 3 months or more It's true if you're prepared to hike up for it. Them be big mountains! Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I can't see anyone disputing that if you are keen and want to hike up high you can go skiing. But, 'winter' has left the building. And that's what the thread is about if you care to look. Almost everyone else in the whole wide world would call it 'spring' or perhaps 'early summer'. But April, May and June sure ain't 'winter'. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm furtively eyeing next weekend (23rd/24th). Spring skiing is fine by me. Where you off too Metabo? I was thinking of trying somewhere new, but the kid is voting for Inawashiro, so that's probably where. (Votes count in inverse proportion to height, apparently.) A bit worried about what conditions are going to be like there after this week's predicted warm and rainy weather, though. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I imagine conditions here in Minamiuonuma are pretty dire at the moment. Relentless warm and a few bits of rain can't think it would be anything else. Though fun if you like those spring conditions, I suppose. A full 1m of snow gone in the last just over a week from outside my house. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Alarming how quickly snow has gone from the 'walls' this last week. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ryuoo at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is that run open? The ol' concrete should be marked if there are people going down there. That run doesn't have enough snow on it anyway, but I think spring riding would be a bit more fun if resorts didn't just leave as many runs to go to moguls. fwiw, I don't think anyone especially "likes" spring conditions. They simply like skiing/boarding and are prepared to do it on poorer quality snow. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well was plannimg to go to Madarao next week and use those tickets I got from SJ but with all this warm weather my brain has switched out of ski mode. Although I am sure I will enjoy it once I go of course minus the spring conditions. Link to post Share on other sites
