Tachypsychia 13 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ski competition in our town as well today. I was going to get up and go take pictures but I watched a few episodes of Doctor Who then passed out. Supposed to get a high of 7* today and rain in the afternoon so I need to get out there fast.

snowdude 44 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The snow stopped here luckily it was a bit on the wet side and then sleety. Mostly dry now with the odd bright spell. So mu daughters second race should be in dry conditions Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This season has been pretty disappointing so far for me. Best days I had out here were the first three I had, right at the beginning of January. BUT! I'll be going to Hokkaido for a weekend and probably Hakkoda once or twice as well to get in some powder days before it all goes to hell. Went out today and it was so wet we couldn't stay more than an hour before the wife had enough. I also lost my gloves somewhere so I was boarding with my hands in my pockets. Felt inclined to turn in as well. Weather here is bouncing all over the place. High of 3 tomorrow followed by a high of -3. Its one crazy roller coaster ride. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The snow that was forecast this afternoon hasn't arrived and it's warm.....snow in the city melting fast.....that said it should be cold enough on the hill for the snow to stay decent.....I'll know tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hakuba was a total bust this weekend....except we found a really nice new place to stay and since we skipped skiing today....found a great pool in Matsumoto right near the Azumino exit. Going to Myoko next week so ya....heavy snow please. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 No rain in the end, it turned out to be a fine day (but not fine for mid winter!) Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Can't believe how quickly it's changed back n forth.....it was cold earlier on today Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks like some colder weather coming in for this coming week - hopefully with some snowfall. Fingers crossed it stays cold for next weekend - I'm hoping to get out there again! Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We can only hope. Got to get through today first, hoping we can avoid rain again. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Another clear morning. Snow has taken area real hit roun here in my neighbourhood. Feels like March for the moment. New snow can't come soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sapporo city is like an ice rink this morning. I'm at Teine station and the mountain is shrouded in cloud.....hopefully snow. Break even day for me today Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Please come back winter. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 5-10cms of fresh on top of a firm base at Teine....pretty nice conditions actually Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Heavy snow on the forecast for Yamanashi this coming Saturday well that is assuming it doesnt change. Maybe some snow tomorrow also. Maybe. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The thing about this season I feel is a mix of too many days without snow and even when it has snowed a lot it hasn't continued for that long. You know, heavy snow for 4 days giving us 2+m. There has been nothing approaching that this time yet. I can't recall there being as little snow around town in early February as this year.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yeah Ive been a tad disappointed to not have seen that epic snowfall......we've had a few 20-30 cms days then nothing for a few days....I was looking forward to extreme snowfall.......oh well always next season Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Gee tough TB looks like it coming Wednesday Day 1 for me Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 haha....yeah its been good for sure, I'm not REALLY complaining.....just that I expected to see uber dumps and they haven't really happened like that. The city deffo took a hit today, by the time I got back from Teine the place was even worse.......1 thing I've learned, snowboard boots are no good walking on icy streets!!
