SantaCruz 0 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The season is already starting here in Washington state, for one day anyways. At Crystal Mountain. From their Facebook page: The Government might be shutting down, but we are opening up! Released in a press conference at the White Room earlier today, President John Kircher announced that the 2013 Ski & Snowboard Season starts and ends tomorrow. "It's about giving the people what they want," said Mr. Kircher. There's up to 22” of snow in places and we can't let a good thing go to waste. We will sell 51 tickets online at 4:00pm today - valid for gondola access from 10am-1pm tomorrow only. Consider this to be lift-assisted early season backcountry skiing with very early-season conditions. Once you’ve made your sweet glory turns in Green Valley or elsewhere, you’ll have to either hike or skin back to the top in order to download (no other lifts will be running), or hike down to the bottom. The cost is $15, bragging rights included. We’re not going to tell you what kind of equipment to bring as it should be obvious. This is Rocktoberfest. Ski with the weeds and early-season rockstars! We will post the link on our Facebook page at 4:00pm today. This is limited to the first 51 people to purchase a ticket online, limit two tickets per purchaser. Why limit it to just 51 people? It’s the start of our 51st season so why not. Game on! Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Interesting! Is that early? Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's the first time that's happened since I've been in Seattle, which is only 8 years. Of course this isn't the real start of the season. If only I had BC experience and was in shape But it's still got to be nice getting some fresh turns on Oct 1. Of course the down side to all this is that it's been pouring rain down in Seattle. Not to fun. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It would indeed be nice. Link to post Share on other sites
shunga 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 They said on the news last night that Japan Sea side should have 'more than usual' this winter. So, I definitely believe them. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 On the Telly now (so it must be true). Suddenly, winter will arrive once the heat goes. I will stick out my neck and go into more detail for all you forecast fans..... It will definitely get colder later this month, and colder still in November. And it will definitely snow at least a bit. Please plan accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites

Space Indaver 1 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's turned grey and wet and brilliant today. Still humid as shit though. Is it still only October? That means at least three weeks until I break my leg playing football, putting me out for the season. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Try not to break your leg there! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hard to think that we'll get blasted with mad snow this winter, with the long and drawn out heat we have had. Or, is that the point? Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Phew.... Glad to hear that everyone pretty much agrees that there will be snow this winter. I'm a little worried about the days getting shorter though.... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Don't worry, ger, I did predict that would happen. It's nothing to worry about. (This horrid lingering and frankly smelly heat is though!) Link to post Share on other sites
Space Indaver 1 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I realise you're joking, but are there ever genuinely shitty/short snow seasons in Gifu/Nagano? Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I realise you're joking, but are there ever genuinely shitty/short snow seasons in Gifu/Nagano? Yes....but still sufficiently bottomless. Link to post Share on other sites
