SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted November 19, 2005 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2005 With the first snow of the season arriving in Yuzawa town today, we thought we'd celebrate by going round the resorts around the town and taking some pics to share with you. We got a bit carried away perhaps, but hey we have our new photo system so we thought we'd make the most of it! Strange weather today - southern parts of the town saw almost heavy snow at times (around 5+cm up at Tsuchitaru), while it was still raining near Gala to the north.... and heavy rain in neighbouring Shiozawa. The new pics (including pics of 11 resorts) can be found here: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo.php?userid=YuzawaNow Pity it wasn't a bit clearer. We liked this one - a road sprinkler getting a bit too excited by the arrival of the snow perhaps Link to post Share on other sites

SerreChe 2 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Nice pictures, thank you for the effort and for sharing with everybody. Guess they were just testing the sprinklers ahead of what hopefully will be a busy season for them :-) Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Some good ones there, cheers! Some of the sprinkler things really do go a bit mad don't they. - do they check them at all? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 The city workers went through this week, testing and clearing the sprinklers. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted November 19, 2005 Author SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks. Yes they do go round checking them - though some always seem to go pretty crazy every year! Today they were actually needed though in some parts of the town. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nice pictures it looks interesting. A bit far for me though, I think I'll be sticking to Gifu/Nagano. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Glad I didn't go round taking them now I took a few uploaded one of Ishiuchi from a place a friend has over the valley Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Those sprinklers often seem to gang up on me. Dormant one minute, big-will walking past the next.... .ATTACK! And always when I've changed into dry, clean clothes after a day on the hills. Link to post Share on other sites
