Gunma Boarder 14 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It rained last night in Gunma. But looking at the surrounding mountains, over 800 meters seems to have gotten snow. Definitely not 40 to 50 cm though..... Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It has been snowing since mid morning but nothing proper. Seems to have set in now though and snowing with a bit more conviction at the moment, at last. Hoping it continues, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We had 15 plus of snap-the-tree cement at our place, but there was close to 40cm higher up at Sanosaka. I thought it was a bit heavy when I tried to ski it (badly), but it felt pretty good and was coming up nicely once I switched to my board. There were still patches of untouched when I came home. Of the ten people on the pow course, nine were doing some kind of mogul camp and spent most of their day digging out a narrow stretch of bumps. Some lighter stuff was drifting down, so it should be pretty good tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Very nice Snowdude!! Seems like you get quite a bit more snow than the Fujimi area...no? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 More than the Yuzawa area too!! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 That's really not a good thing... Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yes a lot more than Fujimi and Yuzawa. The last two to three years Kiyosato and also Kobuchisawa where I am have been getting more and more snow. Although this year so far where I live has been fairly dry at the moment. Mainly freezing level has been higher than usual for this time of year. So Kiyosato being much higher has been getting heavy snow even when other places have had rain.

muikabochi 208 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Good for snowdude. We did get some decent snowfall overnight. Now we want it to continue and build up. I see Nozawa got dumped on. Excited Now report this morning. Link to post Share on other sites
