mattlucas 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Like I've said before Skiing powder in Japan is great and all But the resort terrain in North America more than makes up for a sometimes lack in snow. Link to post Share on other sites
hughcohen 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 So 14200 yen for pants, will I get reasonable gear cheaper in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites

hughcohen 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 hmm, at that price I reckon I wont do much better.. but at the same time, if I can get a sweet matching pair pants and jacket for 30000, it would be better.. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Janus We edited your earlier post - it was just, as a few people have pointed out, blatantly crude and went over the line. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
hughcohen 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 that's ok. The swear filter did remove all the curse words though, right? Link to post Share on other sites

hughcohen 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I would have thought that because I was quoting Trailer Park Boys it would be ok.. ah well. I guess it's all just supply and command. Link to post Share on other sites

krotch 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well more snow in Tokyo. Not much, like an inch and it's rapidly melting. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It was snowing here in Kobe yesterday Krotch. It stuck up here on the mountain but not down near my apartment. Pretty cold and wet - hopefully that means more snow on the mountains eh krotch!! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Reading the Hakuba report it looks like it will be a deep weekend Too bad that all of Japan will be on the ski hills Link to post Share on other sites
krotch 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 More snow on the mountains is very good. What sucks is, I was suppose to be rolling out for a trip tomorrow. Thanks to my boss, that's not going to happen. Sucks. I went to Hakuba last Wed. That was the worst trip for me this season. Simply cause of the conditions. Waiting for the gondola, but that got shutdown for roughly 1/2 hour to 45 mins. High winds, so they didn't want to send it up. After we all managed to finally get up to the slopes, it was all ice until like noon. The park opened up around 1000 - 1100. Not sure exactly what time, but in there somewhere. It started getting better, but then it started raining at 1400. I was riding in the off limits off-piste areas, which was better than the regular trails, but even that was pretty terrible. The snow has been there so long that it's simply not real enjoyable to ride. Course, the fact that it was raining and I didn't get time to wax my board (last minute trip), didn't help. By 1600, the rain turned into snow and a thick fog rolled in. You could barely see 5 meters in front of you. The park was ruined before 1300. Ppl kept falling during their landings, falling before they even jumped, falling going up to the jump, and so on. Don't get me wrong, I'm learning how to jump and can only land about half the attempts I make, but come on. I'm not a complete novice trying to take the jumps. Hakuba definitely needs the new layer of snow. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Already got a new layer mate about 50cms down low and 1 meter up high from wednesday to monday Link to post Share on other sites
krotch 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Maybe I'll roll there on the 1st. I'm thinking of this Myoko place on the 25th. Link to post Share on other sites
