mandycreighton 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hey there, We spent just under two weeks skiing in Japan 2 - 14 Feb - Shigakogen & Nozawa and even tho' the snow depth was less than anyone had seen before (some on the trip were on their 7th trip to japan in 7 years) - ie we hadn't seen bamboo sticking through the snow before! We still got a few cracker powder days. There were 14 of us on the trip and many have skied the northern hemishpere most winters and have never had regular powder in North America or Europe as consistent as Japan. Here's a link to some video we got at Nozawa http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5231239439958018707 About half the group have skied and enjoyed Niesko in the past but probably won't go back, the "Japan" and "powder" experiences has been destroyed with Aussie overcrowding but there is still plenty of areas in Japan to explore! This season in Japan is still better than a good season in Australia! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Nice, which trees are they in that vid? Looks like you had really good timing with those days Link to post Share on other sites
mandycreighton 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Vid was taken in a few different places, mostly in the area under the Yamabko hooded quad chair also some in the "out of bounds" gully above Karasawa double chair accessed from the top of the Yamabko chairs. Yep we got really lucky with the snow at Nozawa, we only had 3.5 days and we got 3 days of awesome powder and the last day the sun was out as well! Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 It was lucky for you to have enough snow! If I did that run, probably I hit my face at some trees! Link to post Share on other sites
