Markie 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Blue skies over Hakuba as well, but I don't like what I'm seeing at Sun Alpina. It's just grass there, looking out from the webcam. If they don't get major snow soon, looks like I won't be skiing there. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Markie are you passing thru Tokyo at all (ie - town not just Narita)? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 No, I didn't get any gigs in Tokyo so my bus will go straight through Tokyo to Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 A little more snow this morning. Looks like a good weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 The ants are out in force at Kiroro as usual but at Hakuba, my plans for doing Sun Alpina and Iwatake do not appear to be hopeful. However, I can see some nice moguls beginning to form on that Happo slope. At least there's a little good news for me. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You should come up to Kagura from Tashiro side, Mitsumata is not skiable and get too crowded. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Good too see white-out conditions at Hakuba. Maybe a little hope for me that Sun Alpina will open. Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks Thursday. I was packing last night and filled a whole hockey bag with stuff, weighing a ton. The only thing in that bag that was mine, however, was a pair of ski-boots. I remember last time I was in Hakuba I said to myself "Wouldn't it be nice to travel light next time?" and so I left my skis with Fattwins. Good thing I did, but travelling light was just wishful thinking! At least we have a coach direct from Narita to Fatty's place so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Forecast is for snow over the weekend and as I've said many times before, I am still hoping to do Sun Alpina, but that's not very likely. Have fun in Niseko too! I am brushing up on my Japanese now. Remember to brush up on your Australian too, for Niseko. Fair dinkum? Link to post Share on other sites
