montoya 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 lots of crazy stuff going on lately.. riding mate got caught in the avie on-course at Nakazato Jan 3. was able to swim on top and was buried to his waist. according to another friend, looks like there was an avie at Kandatsu on the 45-degree slope, so they closed off the upper part of the resort for a day or two. so far, kagura has been lucky to avoid any skier-involved avies that I've heard of.

SerreChe 2 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 It feels like it is all getting a bit out of control at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Montoya, have you been riding up at Kagura in the New Year? How has it been? I was in Niigata for 3 days from 2nd until 5th but didnt get to ride at Kagura. The day we were going to go the top lift wasnt running so we called it off ... How is it up there? Where have you been riding? Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 conditions are very similar to what's described in the recent Hakuba Now! reports (weak sun crust from bluebird Jan 1, with all that new snow and wind slabs on top of it). very windy + lots of new snow, not the best of conditions.
