Mick Rich 78 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So it's the last week of March and the Tokyo sakura's already in full bloom. I have a window of opportunity to hit the slopes this Saturday, possibly for the final time before work and other commitments take over again. Anyone else heading out?

brit-gob 9 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 If he had your bike, Mick, he could BMX it! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nice Mick... have a good time. I hung the skis up and I have a feeling that's where they'll remain until next season. Family and friends have already switched into "let's go camping" mode. Edit... also, Goryu cleared up in the afternoon and the top was very nice....between the icy bits. A nice topping to the season.

ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 ****ing boe... sat in my house all morning waiting for them. Eventually phoned up the company and was told they won't be out until Tomorrow to check the house so I "might as well take off". Were it not for the fact that I have no heating no furniture and no bedding I'd have just stayed another night. Unfortunately, as it happens, its rubbish day so I binned all my bedding this morning when I freakishly decided to get up at 6 am. Ah wells... off to nozawa, lets see if I can score a place without having paid my deposit Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Har! I is already on the train. Just passed toyono. Not really much to say weather wise. Hoping that snows either already at nozzie or its on its way. Grey skies, looking heavier across to nozawa which is nice. Today was always a write off though. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Playing the waiting game as well Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Good enough fir me. You always get it about twenty minutes before us... river looks beautifully green for a change . Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 At least I got a job in Sapporo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Pretty shocked to see snow still on the ground. Looking pretty rough in the trees over at togari by the looks of it, but groomers still looking decent enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Have fun ippy! If he had your bike, Mick, he could BMX it! BMXing to go snowboarding - a combination made in heaven! Nice Mick... have a good time. I hung the skis up and I have a feeling that's where they'll remain until next season. Family and friends have already switched into "let's go camping" mode. Edit... also, Goryu cleared up in the afternoon and the top was very nice....between the icy bits. A nice topping to the season. Yeah, I saw the clouds clearing away and thought you might head up there! Sadly i was still on duty down on the beginner slopes! Was good to meet up anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 kinda weird even thinking about snowboarding again to be honest. The brains completely at war with the idea. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 snows started down nozawa village level. Kinda wet of course (borderline sleet) but coming just at the right time. Held off pretty much the entire time i was walking around and then dropped five minutes after i got in. If it just keeps it up for 9 or ten hours, i might even force myself out of bed Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Heavy rain here now Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sleet turning to wet snow in Yuzawa now. It was belting down snow when we drove through Naeba and Kagura on the way. Btw, ippy, I spent the day at Sugadaira today. It's not nearly as bad as you made it out to be. Review coming later. Link to post Share on other sites
