The Frog 0 Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 G'day Andrew! Does this site have any snow forecasts, i.e about 7 days out etc. Here is Oz we have this info supplied by various weather bureaus. Maybe a "Weather Forum" would be a good idea (like on ski.com.au) where those interested in forecasting can put up their predictions and talk about coming snowfalls. It is very successful over here.

Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Hi The Frog. Long time no see. Yes, as the season approaches our weather and snow reports will come alive and be updated on a daily basis! Look forward to that and the new site, online early November! Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
The Frog 0 Posted October 9, 2001 Author Share Posted October 9, 2001 Cool! We had a pretty ordinary season over here. No snow til about August really (just on man made areas) then it pretty much stopped at the end of August and then melted. Look forward to seeing the new developments on here. You still based in Yuzawa? I think I heard you changed jobs last season. Link to post Share on other sites
Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Hi there Good to hear from you again. Yes, SJG HQ is in Yuzawa (near the station), now part of a web design company. SJG concept, independance etc etc remain exactly the same as before and always will. Just the site will get better and better! If you want to mail me, my address is andrew@skijapanguide.com. Thanks Andrew Link to post Share on other sites

Loch Ness 0 Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 good to see you here, froggy. counting down to japan pow action next feb for me! wooohooo!! LN Link to post Share on other sites
Loch Ness 0 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hey Frog, Will you be providing your forecasts for Japan this season? I wonder if you can tell me where I can get COLA/NOGAPS, or for that matter any model information, for the region? Its too easy to trust your commentaries back in Oz! Cheers, LN Link to post Share on other sites
Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Loch Ness We will be providing reports like we did last season on a daily basis. They are for the most part provided by our network of people around Japan who are based in those regions, and we check data from resorts as well. We hope that you feel you can trust the info you find on skijapanguide Link to post Share on other sites
Loch Ness 0 Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 SkiJapan Administrator, Thanks for this information. I have complete trust in the forecasts provided by your network and the resorts. The only reason that I posted my last message to The Frog is that he is well regarded by many in Australia for not only his forecasts, but also his access to interesting analysis/charts, etc. I am new to this DB this season and can`t wait to begin reading the forecasts that this site produces - and totally can`t wait until I'm riding Niseko next Jan/Feb!!! Thanks, LN Link to post Share on other sites
The Frog 0 Posted October 30, 2001 Author Share Posted October 30, 2001 LN, I do have a link for the COLA charts for Japan and also for snow-forecast.com. I can do some forecasting for japan but on ly to about 6 days at the moment, not like up to 3 weeks over here in Oz. ...and by the way, it doesn't look like any snow in Japan this week.

Guest Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Evidence to suggest the first real plunge of northern air this weekend. Expect the higher mountains to get a good dusting. Will be hiking with the gaiters, if I can escape the office chains. Link to post Share on other sites
