Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 That just depends mate...Ive seen Niseko go off and Nagano go off...depends on the storm. Driest snow Ive been in is still Niseko... Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah, but when I lived there (Niseko) it seemed like daily it was dumping 30-40cm for months Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i prefer terrain to light snow Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 me too now Thats why Im trying to get into good shape this year and stay injury free before the season starts...I was so bummed last year sitting out September-December cuz of my injury Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Me too. But for me it is also important how a resort looks after their Cheese Fans such as myself and cheesewoman. It's not all about terrain and snow. Link to post Share on other sites

mina2 6 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The most I've ever seen I think is in Yuzawa this last February that week when it snowed constantly for about a week. That was mad. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've often wondered if Mount Baker Ski Resort which holds the world record for snowfall might be beaten out from Niigata The record for Baker Resort is 28.55 metres of Snowfall for the season 98/99 Would a Japanese resort like to be known as the snowiest place on earth?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I thought that record was for the world...didnt this topic come up sometime ago? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It's an unofficial world record Which to me seems to say that they can say they have a record as long as nobody challenges it Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 hmmm, Im sure any resort would love that claim to fame yeah Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 i dont think japan does an honest tracking anyways. Im sure tateyama has come close from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites
