Chriselle 158 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 We arrive on Feb 15 so hopefully some good snow on the way before then (upcoming weekend reports look good??) We will be based in Happo One but keen to try all resorts (although kids will be at ski school at Happo). If we get the All Mountain Pass can you use it across 2 resorts in the one day (i.e ski with kids in morning and then head over to a diff resort when they are in ski school). Or is it better to just buy passes day by day? Are you going to be driving? If not, I wouldn't bother.... just go day by day and print out a bunch of the Happo lift + lunch + onsen.... forms from the Happo home page. Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 got an extra 20cm of base on the mountain in two days worth of snow. Way more than that actually ON the mountain and around the town there's great accumulation. Overdid it going two days in a row for 5 hours though... rest day for today and I still have the weekend before it starts to melt again. Get it while the gettins good.

Tachypsychia 13 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Keep getting solid dumps here and the weather stays cold so it's finally accumulating. At least until Monday. Weekend is prime time to get out there. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Should be heavy snow falling here all day tomorrow and starting tonight. As long as the wind behaves I will be out skiing in the snow tomorrow as Sunday morning got other things on. If it is falling too heavy or really windy then maybe ill give it a miss.
