BillTheBinMan 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 This is not meant to sound negative or anything, just want to get it in my mind. In an average/normal year, when abouts are the last big snowfalls of the season? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Depends where you go but probably mid to late march And then it's the start of nice lazy spring skiing. Corn snow is so nice. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 No backcountry skiing in the Tateyama area off the Murodo Plain I do love the corn snow. But I'm hoping to get at least a few more days in the powder Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Forgive my ignorance - can you explain 'corn snow'? And while you're at it ... 'bluebird morning'. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Corn snow is spring snow that freezes over night. If you hit it just right when it thaws you are skiing on little balls of ice that are about the size of corn. Very smooth and very fun. Almost feels like silk. I enjoy this time of year because it is very relaxing. No need to hurry for first tracks. Just fun in the sun with friends. Bluebird morning is just a blue sky. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 yeah I like corn and steeps almost as much as I like powder. plus hiking is cake compared to hiking in the powder. I cant wait till tateyama opens man boy its gonna look different. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I am really exited about the coming spring as well. I have lots of trips planned. Just hope the weather cooperates. Last spring it was always sunny during the week but then raining on the weekends. Well that's how I remember it at least. Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Usually the last big snow is in March, and sometimes some more small snowfalls later on, if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 It may snow quite a few times in April but its usually not huge amounts. Link to post Share on other sites

emptyworld 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Just as long as it doesn't start raining a lot, that is the real enemy. Link to post Share on other sites
