RockyV 0 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 just went up to Iizuna which is only about 15mins from my house, it was snowing lightly above maybe about 800m. I too am soooooooooo excited edit: I took some pictures that I thought I might be able to play with in photoshop and get them right, but the result isn't much chop, not even worthy uploading, too dark. what I wanted to show however is that the runs were clearly visible andother edit: just looking at the weather forecasts and it looks like we might be in for over 20cm in Nagano over the next week, fingers crossed Link to post Share on other sites
