mattlucas 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Babump Went up to Norikura for some summer turns Probably about 50 people up there skiing. Most of them were race training however a few were bumping and jumping. And then there was the BC crowd made up of Telemarkers and me on my rando gear. Half of the snowfield with the summit area in behind. I just learned that you can ski up here all year round. Twister are so hot right now And yours truly aiming directly for the rock Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Noice, I notice that you don't have your usual magnum look, what gives? how deep was the cover, looks about a foot? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Not so deep there but higher up it is metres upon metres upon metres deep it's there all year round Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 does it get any new snow in the summer? (i.e. is it high enough for the temps to be that low?) Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 I guess it could if the system were right But the 2 falls that I have been here it gets pretty early snow. So I think the first up high snow in early october could fill in the sun cups and make some nice turns Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 big-looking sun cups (or "spoon cut" as it's said in Japanese). reminds me of late May conditions in Kagura. amazing to see you on skis in August. if you can grab some turns during autumn, you can use the photos to make a nice "year-round ski japan" calendar.

sava 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Been super busy and it takes ages to get to the snow here (7 hours each way). Going to copenhagen in a bit over a week (which is why I've been super busy). Planning on going down when I get back though, hopefully the snow is ok... Link to post Share on other sites
