snowbunny 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Sometimes if you are travel to ski resort do you cancel your plan right before because of weather? For example, forecast is really bad for the days you plan to be there and so you decide not to going because of the bad weather. Link to post Share on other sites
RockyV 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Um well for me not normally, I will still normally go if the weather is bad as long as the lifts aren't closed. I live in Nagano city though so its only an hour's drive to the major areas, maybe be different if I lived in Tokyo or Osaka or somewhere like that. Having said that living that far away from the snow would kill me Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Bad weather usually means snow! Snowbunny, which means I am out there! some of the best powder can be had in terrible weather conditions, the slopes are deserted and you can get do the same run over and over as your tracks get continually filled in. I think you find many other peeps on this forum will say the same thing, we are hardcore here at SJ Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 had to cancel once because I couldn't reach the place. It was snowed in and I was left out. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It'd easier to cancel when you live nearby Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Shut up! Must be great to be able to wake up in a morning look out the window and decide there and then. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'd never cancel because of the weather but have had to suddenly change plans because of other people pulling out at the last minute due to weather or some other reason. I hate that. Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Never ever cancelled a trip - go regardless of the weather. We stick firmly to the old saying: 'The worst day on the slopes is better than the best day at work'!! Besides, in Oz it's a long 5-7 hour drive, so we're committed regardless. OS is little different - paid to be there so gotta be out there: we may change plans slightly e.g. go snowmobiling, etc to replace an otherwise crap riding day. Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Got to say I really don't like being out there in blizzard conditions. It does not appeal to me at all. Perhaps I am getting older. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Only ever cancalled once and that was because of a killer cold I had. It would be sweet to live much closer and have that luxury yes. Maybe one day. Link to post Share on other sites
RockyV 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm not sure if living closer gives you the "luxury" of canceling or not? For me it's maybe the opposite, being it's a hour or less away, why not go have a look I have nothing to loose, anyway that's why I don't cancel. I have arrived a couple of times to a resort with all the lifts on wind hold, but it's rare and I had an onsen and enjoyed the drive. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 It seems obvious to me that if you live near the slopes it's easier to cancel. One of the perks I suppose. I've never cancelled a big trip - weather changes so quick anyway I remember once it was forecast for blizzards for about 3 days and it ended up snowing one day (no probs!) and the other 2 were blue sky.
