Chriselle 158 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm hoping to get out one more time in March and maybe an April visit as well. Both will be Hakuba.. Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Muikabochisan (or anyone..) do you think it's worth a last minute punt up to hakuba this Saturday? Just learned my schedule has opened up, was wondering where could be good.. Saturday and Sunday are looking a lot better than today and tomorrow! But they wont be "saiko" If anything stay high on the upper slopes. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Problem with weekend looking better than today and tomorrow is that before then damage has been done. Obviously hoping for as little of that as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah, I'm scanning the weather reports to see where is taking the least massive damage. At the moment it's looking like a toss-up between hakuba (the missus realllly wants to head there) and old favourite marunuma (figuring the height will lift it out of the drab conditions, and the 'devil road' will be clear due to the recent bad weather). As a ray of hope, a sneaky peak on weathernews is suggesting the mid half of next week could offer something white and fluffy, and I don't mean the Easter bunny. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I hope so.....Ive basically got the whole month off, I don't want it finished just yet Black Mountain I think has been de-throned... Sadly yes... I'm working too hard these days! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You got a new car to pay for and diapers ain't cheap either.....back at it there Mr. Working Stiff... Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Will be off skiing this Saturday regardless of confitions as my wifes Aunt is coming up for the weekend and she wants to ski. Was going to go to Myoko but think ill give it a miss this weekend and stay local and high. Sun meadows would have got snow today not rain. Dont know about Kobuchisawa as I am out all day but it was snowing lightly this morning when I left. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Meant to snow tonight......and a little tomorrow night, Saturday could be decent Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Have a good time! I didn't know where that was and had to look it up. It's a good sized resort. Their website has the byline TONIKAKU YUKISHITSU GA II! GOKUJOU POWDER SNOW WO SUBERU! I've only ever seen the word "gokujou" next to kalbi that's too expensive to feed to my kids down at the yakiniku, but I'm sure it must be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm hopefully not done either. School holidays FTW. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I go there as a failsafe. Runs aren't anything special, but there is some tree fun to be had and it's not famous enough to have every man and his dog (literally, by some recent photos) messing up your jam. If I can get a decent bakaproof case, I'll try and get footage/review done l, as the last one is a few years ago? Can't do much on the black runs yet, though. Maybe next year.

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yes, lots of photos, please. Not familiar with that place. And of course, don't forget the cheese. Link to post Share on other sites

Peetan 10 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh man, this is one of them rites of passage, isn't it. CULT FORUM! ...will this do? Do I have to eat it there as well?? Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That will do. You just have to shoot it at your selected resort. Some nosh it, some let it ski another day. Don't forget. It's important. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 We had rain last night yuk! Luckily it has stopped and the sun is sort of shinning a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Was just looking at my weather records that I keep, and here we have had 91 days straight where temperatures at night have been below freezing! Last night that spell was broken it only got down to 1oC. Our first frost was back in October, but continuous run of below freezing days started from 29th Nov through until 27th Feb! Will be interesting to see how many straight days it keeps below freezing at night next year. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Snow didn't appear last night.....was some blowing thru this AM but that didn't come to much. Big brown piles of ice around town.....depressing Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah we still have loads of snow left but also loads of dirty brown snow on the side of the road everywhere. Certainly needs refreshing! Link to post Share on other sites
