BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That does sound very tempting Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It does. In the meantime I'm off to Nozawa this weekend and hoping for decent conditions. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowConnection 0 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Some ski areas in Tohoku are going to close; http://www.kahoku.co.jp/news/2006/03/20060316t13041.htm Photo: Izumigatake ski jyo on Mar 7. Izumigatake ski jyo is a smaller one, 45 min car ride from Sendai city, was closed on Mar 7, though it had a good start on Dec 7 with much snow. It had snow but less pile by strong wind in Jan & Feb. It has had around 10C degree days entering in March. Miyagi Zao Eboshi ski jyo opened "all" tracks in Dec with cheers, but did not have big snow thereafter, then stopped the night skiing service after Mar 6 against expected Mar 19.

kintaro 0 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have a season pass to Eboshi. It's been a terrible snow year. I think they maxed out in February with 120cm. They have 80 now (more like 60cm) and the average at this time of year is 240. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 How many times did you make it out then Kintaro? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Kidding, Kintaro?? Zao-Eboshi, right? Usually 240cms at this time of the year but now 60-80cms?? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thats weird, considering so many other places seem to have more than usual. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 muikabochi - is there still more than usual there where you are or has all the early spring weather melted it down to usual levels? Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Not kidding Gamera, this year sucked! I boarded last week on grass (although Zao Eboshi's web site said they had 80 cm). I made it out 16 times big-will.(but hit a couple of other resorts to make the total over 25) but only two really good pow days. My last hope to end a shitty season is Gassan.

quattro 1 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's not over till I say it's over and hung up the skis. I have not done so yet. There is still more than enough to keep me happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm still squeaking out the pow days! Had one last tuesday and another on sunday. Had awesome snow yesterday too (but I had to hike for it). so no, winter isn't over for a long time for me (plus I have Tateyama looming over my house! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Good for you kumapix. Did you get lots of snow over where you are this season? Link to post Share on other sites
