Stuntcok 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 With things looking a bit better in the Yuzawa/Okutadami area, I may just drive up tonight. I am thinking Okutadami Sat and Kagura Sunday... Anyone else up for it? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Quote: With things looking a bit better in the Yuzawa area Er, really?? Doesn't look that way to me. Strong winds and rain right now. Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I will never snowboard/ski in the rain its really miserable, I hate the damp and it will lead to sickness. I dont ming snow that as just been rained on though as it does soften it up a bit(until the refreeze) Its the same as surfing in the rain, its really not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The forecast is for it to clear up a bit for tomorrow according to whoever writes Yuzawa Now Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yes it is. Still doesn't mean things are looking that good.... Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If it does rain and refreezes it polishes the surface so it really is like ice. At least if they put the groomers out it would break things up a bit, they didnt do that last week... Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 As long as it doesn't rain, I have no probelm with slush. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I am in for Okutadami/Sat Kagura/Sun. SerreChe? Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think I'll pass on Oku this Sat Tsonda, but thanks for the offer. I will pop my head out the window on sat morning & decide what to do. It may involve going straight back to sleep. If weather is really horrendous I may even head back sun morning. Not looking good at mom. Supposed to be howling winds, warm temps & bucketloads of rain... Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hmmm... snow-forecast.com has some decent falls lined up for the next few days. May have to hit Kagura later next week... Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Dont mention it m8. If you stay for Sun and wanna do some hiking together, give me a call. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Dan, wishful thinking I think. Cloudy today, bit of rain tonight then fine tomorrow seems much more likely. If it does get cold enough to snow up there, can't see it being significant. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Guess you're right - hiking it is then! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Don't know about up at Kagura but here in the valley right now it's heavy rain and howling winds. Looks like it will be better tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Nah not going to bother. not really feeling like it. I think it will be a 'restful' weekend for me. I'd be interested to know what it was like if you do go though. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It looks like I will be doing Kagura... Link to post Share on other sites

SirJibAlot 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 yea, I think some park is in order - i don't think we'll have great snow quality - good for jibbing...The weather is supposed to be good. Link to post Share on other sites
