snowdude 44 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cloudy here at Suginohara for about the past couple of hours with snow fallong at the peak and sleet/rain at the base/ bright. Snow from half way down to base is rubbish like sking on glue and the top just about acceptable. But it is mid March so cant be helped I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Glad I went up the top and did the expert courses this morning because cant get up there anymore this afternoon they stopped the capsule lift that goes to the top because of wind. Link to post Share on other sites

And they usually wait until the snow gets quite deep before bulldozing the roads plus my wifes k car has about as much ground clearance as an ant. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's now dumping on the hill, conditions are much better than I was expecting. Enough fresh on top of crust to enjoy some shallow pow turns in the trees. Some of the more mellow runs that were good early season were great again today.....hard snowpack under the fresh meaning the runs were nice and cruisy Link to post Share on other sites
