indosnm 0 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Spent the last 4 days @ Niseko hirafu. snowed about 20cm each day and the trees were much deeper! Peak runs were insane with snorkel being needed most days! Managed to stay off the runs beside getting to the bottom of the gondola for 4 days in the POW! Didn't have to line up once for lifts. Was pretty deserted! and it was dumping when we left!!! Insane! Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted December 25, 2002 Author Share Posted December 25, 2002 yep, got my chrissy wishes for the next few years! Unfortunately now Hakuba/Gifu/ Niigata regions are gonna suck due to being spoiled too much! maybe I will just not go boarding for 5 days and hop up there again in feb!

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 At least you get to ride places like a Hakuba etc for 5-6 months of the year!!! As you know the "snow" fields over here are pretty poor and are open for half the time the japanese slopes seem to be open for! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 26, 2002 Author Share Posted December 26, 2002 Thats right, yes we are spoiled here and compared to OZ the price is fairly reasonable (except highways!) Thats why in Oz I surf all year, only hit the mountains a few times a year.. still can't feel my legs!!! Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Yeah prices here are a joke. But unfortunatley thats all we have, and heck at least we have some snow, because some snow is better than none! I used to surf heaps, but i dont get out as much as i should now a days. I just prefer the snow. Link to post Share on other sites
