snowdude 44 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ok it is that time where we all start to get excited when the first snow of the new season is spotted so thought I would make a thread for it. Amazingly enough I can see Fuji san today the first time in what seems like months. And with the feeezing level next week going doing to or below the peak of Fuji any percipitation could well be snow up there. So lets posting pics of the first snow on any mountains that are blessed with the white stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I imagine the peaks of Mt Granview may well be first once again this season... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The holy peaks hidden in the clouds, Wizz, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a good amount up there already! But wow, quite a while before we see anything round here. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Pretty sure I saw the Burton snowboard team doing their summer powder camp up on the towering peaks n chutes of Mt Granview Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It would not surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Interesting, Snowdude. I'd say I've seen Fuji from here in Tokyo more often this August than any previous August I can remember (caveat, I didn't always have a view of the mountain from my living room) Link to post Share on other sites

wakaran 1 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 When does Fuji usually get it's first sprinkling? Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think around 15-20th Sep is kind of average, but recent few years has been early with two years ago getting snow on the 9th. If any thing fall from the sky later this week then Fuji is likely to get some snow. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just noticed freezing level drops below 3500M this week so it should snow on Fuji on Thursday Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yes all eyes open Friday and cameras on the ready. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Talking of snow as we had a rare sunny day where the mountains were also clearly visible I was surprised to see patches of snow still left over from last winter, it should be snow free from around end of July or early Aug until sometime in late September, but no there were patches of snow left up there. That by the way is not a lie, or and exaggeration as true as I sit here I saw patches of snow up there. So it is quite possible that those mountains could receive new snow before all of last years melted. Never seen that before for those mountains. Maybe a combination of the crazy amounts of snow the mountains at that altitude received and the cool summer we had. Link to post Share on other sites

Peetan 10 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well I have to say this is the earliest I've gone back to long sleeve dress shirts since I arrived in 2010. Wouldn't be surprising if some white fluffy action isn't happening somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
