Hokkaidough 4 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've not been out and won't be until next weekend, just wondering how the snow is everywhere? Tell us here! どうぞ・・・・ Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Was in Hakuba today. Spring time basically. Snow not too good. Had a good day though. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I am back from Rusutsu. Thursday: sunny, warm untill 3pm, not good snow. Friday: cloudy, sprinkling of snow and 10cm new snow by 4pm. Saturday: sunny, pretty warm, about 20cm new snow from last night melted before 11am, beautiful view from the top of the Mt.Isola. My Niseko trip in December was much better than this trip but I could find easy tree spots(very flat) top of the Mt.Isola and enjoyed offpiste skiing with my friend. She has gotten into skiing in the trees, too! Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The warm spell at the beginning of last week kind-of spoiled things a little this weekend in Southwest Hokkaido. When I was at Sapporo Kokusai and Kiroro on Thursday and Friday, there was some nice fresh stuff over the melted hardpack - another day of two on new snow would have fixed things, but that didn't happen. Rusutsu on Saturday was sunny and warm, but conditions were still reasonably nice up high. If the expected snowfall arrives during the middle part of this week, then everything will be rejuvinated and conditions will be very nice for you this coming weekend! Pray/sacrifice for snow! If the snow doesn't come through, try going somewhere inland and away from the Nihon-kai coast. Kokusai and Kiroro are geographically close, but conditions were significantly better at Kokusai. Hopefully the rain on Sunday and Monday hasn't set things back too far. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I was up in Sugadaira with friends earlier this week and it was not good. Very heavy, really gave my legs a workout - really aching the next day. Link to post Share on other sites
