number9 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hakuba was absolutely amazing on Monday, probably better now. Deepest, lightest powder day I've ever experienced. Constantly knee deep, and in some spots even chest deep! Thanks to the "massive low pressure system bomb" Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Perfect conditions again today. We had a 40-odd cm dump in town overnight, and things were fantastic on the mountain. No2 son dealing with some ungroomed snow. No1 son in action. Cedars turning into snow monsters. Late afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 It's actually quite a lively place. It draws a lot of people from Miyagi and Fukushima and further. There are two fast quads though, and 5 or 6 ways down the hill, so it's easy to find some space. Link to post Share on other sites
hiiambang 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Taken sunday. Wish I knew how fast I was going by the bottom of the run. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was out at Kiji the other day and conditions were not good. Not much snow, and what was there was icy and 'noisy'. I'm waiting for a decent snowfall before going out again. Link to post Share on other sites
