blinkin'ek 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I know I'll be flamed for this but does anyone else feel that the crap showing of snow so far this season means we're going to have a crappy snow season (ie not as much). Go on, start the flames! Link to post Share on other sites
rache 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Flame Number 1: Just wait a bit longer. The fact that no decent snow has fallen yet has no bearing on the season as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites
dick 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 No need to worry. If there is still no real dumping going on in 2 weeks time, that's when to get worried. Just chill out...... Link to post Share on other sites
Twiki 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 The snow was late last season, only about 30cm in Shiga by mid December and similar amounts in Niseko as now. And that was an amazing season with some resorts claming the highest snowfalls in 17 years!!! It will come... Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 It snowed in Suwa this morning, and the whole Hakuba range still appears to be under thick snow clouds. Looks like there musta been some dumping going on, even though it's not showing up in any reports on this site. Yet? Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Sorry to spoil your dreaming Ocean11, but does this..... http://www.skijapanguide.com/2002/daily-reports/hakubavillage.html ...look like "dumping in Hakuba" to you? Certainly doesn't to me. Link to post Share on other sites

rache 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Don't be cruel to poor Rod (is that you, sounds like you!! Suwa is in southern Nagano, hardly ski/boarding city. [This message has been edited by rache (edited 04 December 2001).] Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 If you wanted to twiddle Nagano Prefecture around evenly, you'd put a big pin in the middle of Lake Suwa. The hell where Suwa is is in the middle of Nagano, and a good deal less hellish than where you live calvin. Checked out your link ol' son, and you see that big swathe of cloud hanging over that ther' mountain? Guess what's going on underneath that. (Hint: I said it was snowing in Suwa this morning.) Nice and warm in Tokyo is it? Hi rache! I'm not Rod, I'm Liar. Who are you? Have we met? My 'not sure if I quite want to blow my cover yet' email is poxfroth@yahoo.com. Drop me a line!

big-will 7 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Come on man, can't not post a reply to that one..... Quote: that big swathe of cloud hanging over that ther' mountain Yeah sure. So you get real turned on by big fog clouds hanging half way up the mountain then? Wish I was so easily pleased. It should be dumping in the villages. Stop this nonsense.

NoFakie 45 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Darkest day in the Hakuba Valley for a long long time (source mywindow@home). And yes, it did snow. Not a dump, but every little helps. http://www.hakuba47.co.jp/today47.html But no need to give mr/ms hakubanow a hard time. He/she isn't getting paid, unlike the folk at yon nana. And the speed at which the weather can change up here means that any report posted first thing may not prove correct. The resorts only fully opened around Christmas Day last year, so no need for concern just yet. Where's Suwa ? Christ get a life man. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 'Stop this nonsense' Well, it's only nonsense if a snowboarding trip to Hakuba is a major undertaking involving a lot of time and expense. Otherwise, a cloud like that (that sometimes opens enough to show gleaming white mountain - I bin watchin' from my window) bodes very well for some leisurely suberi on Saturday morning on the upper reaches. Hakuba's an easy drive from Suwa. What are you doing this weekend? Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Must agree to a certain extent with----all of ya! Lets just wait for a DECENT DUMP. I hate boarding on shitty barely covered slopes. We really need to wait until there is well over a meter and snow in the villages to enjoy it. That's where I'm coming from anyway Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 7-11, are we perhaps related? We seem to have the same surname. What's your password? Link to post Share on other sites
