snobee 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Been said dozens of times but hey, Arai certainly has got the goods re attracting falls of the white stuff. A bit over a week ago, brown except for the top, opening date latest ever and still on hold and now.... Mid station 220+, base 90 and it's not letting up. Good luck Blair & crew for the season. Run off your arse now I suspect Link to post Share on other sites

DokiDokiWakuWaku 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 That would be good. do they have snow making machines up there? Interesting that they only open up the slopes mid/late December and not earlier. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 We've been starting to get some snow in Hakuba this week. Reports (*) say it's due to the presence in town of the snow-factory-on-legs known variously as "Snow Making Markie", "Rogue Trader" and "Discoman". It's looking good for white stuff as we move into the weekend.... (*) from Markie, of course Link to post Share on other sites
