Chriselle 158 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Im sure Fuji got snow as Minami alps were all white this morning at the peaks. But after that been cloudy all day and havent been able to see if Fuji has a white cap. Nope...not yet. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Could see a bit of white on the top of Kagura and Makihata this morning I think. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Im sure Fuji got snow as Minami alps were all white this morning at the peaks. But after that been cloudy all day and havent been able to see if Fuji has a white cap. Nope...not yet. That's a surprise. It looks like the Northern Alps got 30cm or so with more in drifts.

NoFakie 45 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah! Wax up your boards! Maybe all this world cultural icon heritage UNESCO bollocks has gone to Fuji-sans head and it needs to cool down a bit before snow can gather on it. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That's a great idea! Don't waste any time. According to my wife's friends on Facebook, autumn started two days after Obon and the "mou fuyu da ne!"s about three weeks ago. Some people hadn't even harvested their rice. Of course spring will start the first time its sunny and 5C, usually around mid-January. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The depressing one is that no matter how hot it gets, most people will not call summer early. That has to start sometime in July, because that's when the kids are off school or some beach hut or public swimming pool opens. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Mou fuyu da ne! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXBzx3vyYU Are the Yeti Now (or is that Golden Triangle Now) reports being updated yet? Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't know why people bother with that I think you've forgotten what it's like to live in a comparatively snow-free part of Japan!!! Let's Yeti!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Just hop it embedded itself on this page... (Sorry SJ dudes if it doesn't show up as a video) Looks really good Dunga I watched half then went back to watch the rest and they have pulled it. Good tactics I will go and buy now. Eric Jackson's pillows were epic some great powder Link to post Share on other sites

MagSeven 40 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Still some snow up on Tarumaezan near Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido after the cold snap we had in the week: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I love that mountain. The bus rounds a bend as it gets to Shikotsu and suddenly you see this wall of pure white, and the Niseko ``it won't be long now'' feeling really kicks in. :thumbsup: Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 this is worth watching as well http://mpora.com/videos/AAdltg7mghg8 E Jack is my preferred rider out of the two Jackson boys. I really liked the brothers on the run series. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Saw a few boards on a roof rack today when I was driving down to the beach. Must have been on their way to Yeti! I actually tried to talk my wife into going to Yeti the other day and the look she gave me when I suggested it chilled me to the bone. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer!
