Gunma Boarder 14 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It is a bit girly isn't it. We should be talking about beer. The blossoms are partly (or maybe mostly) a great excuse to drink the elixir of life in public parks and the like Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Warm here this morning already 11.5 oC at 11am. Although temps probably will not rise much morevthan that. Only got down to 5oC here last night. Cloudy and supposed to rain today. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was out walking in a t-shirt today. Of course, got some strange 'samui ja' nai ka?' looks. Definitely not as warm as yesterday though, lack of sun that'll be. Link to post Share on other sites

BakCntrySkier 1 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Last day here at Happo. First wind and now rain. The mountains are awesome. Can't say the same for the village. The place looks beat! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Raining here too, and cooler now about 10oC! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Going skiing tomorrow at my local. I am sure it will be like skiing on glue but number of ski days left are rapidly shrinking. I guess then maybe another day or two more after that between now and the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Had a good day at Appi today, for spring skiing. The top half of the mountain was in good shape, crisp shave ice, not slushy. No wind, so all the regular lifts were running. The bottom half of the mountain tended to be a bit sticky, so spent most of the day looping the top lifts. Finally made it to the fabled Nishimori slope, and was disappointed by gluey conditions on the lower part of the course. Looks like it would be fab on a powder day, though. Back home after a marathon drive. (What's with the hairpin turns on the Tohoku Expressway around Sendai?) Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Another hot n sunny one out there today.....I've put my warm weather wax on the board, let's see if it helps any in the glue. Gonna try and see if I can do anything in the park......just something I have no skills with Link to post Share on other sites

634-maru 4 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Damn, pretty crappy rain here now. I have a day off too. And I don't have a day off tomorrow, when sun is due. Not going out in the rain though, I can cope with slushy sun but not this. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 At my local it is cloudy quite cool actually about 3oC at base and around 1oC at the top. The snow is surprisingly good firm but soft and not at all sticky at the moment anyway. Better than the conditions in Myoko the other day. Was raining slightly this morning earlier but keeping dry at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Finished for the day as I got meetings to go to. We had a time out with quite good conditions and cool temps. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 In Tokyo today walking about in T-shirt it is hot here and the cherry trees are in full bloom. It was frosty when I left my house. Bit of a hot shock to the system is this. Link to post Share on other sites
