eskimobasecamp 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 yeh i'm thinking early july, i'm sure the snow is pretty shitty but i should just keep on hiking nonetheless, if i'm gonna make it up yari at some point i'm off to nz on 22nd july for some not-so-shitty snow!!!! september and october, dare i say it, may be the ONLY months i won't ski this year - which is not bad really Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 There is definitly a load of snow in July to ski Gets a little desperate though with the suncups and ice bulges Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Is this all going to be in the same Gifu/Nagano area? (Suncups?) Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 the sun melts the snow and you get sun cups. sun cups look more like ramen bowls and they are hard to ski if the snow isnt perfect. I personally dont enjoy it. TOque is a lover of the suncup god. this weekend the weather looks good for kayaking more than sking. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 nagano and gifu is where the steepest and bigest lines are. If anyone know of better places please do tell. nigata is pretty good though but a far drive. Link to post Share on other sites
