fukdane 2 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 In Greece?!!? There's snow there? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Well I mast admit that I said exactly the same thing when I arrived in Japan. In Japan! Does it ever snow here?? Actually the Greek mountains are the Southeastern extension of the Alps. And we get quite a lot of snow there. Unfortunately it is not much developed yet. If you are interested here is a link that has some of the resorts in Greece. http://www.gtp.gr/skicenters.asp Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 When was it that Kagura opened right at the beginning of November, like 8 or 9 years ago or something. I'm sure it did one year. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 It's snowing out right now I had to scrape my car off for the first time. Pretty cool. Not sticking to the roads but the trees and grass has a nice dusting. The more inaka areas around here have reported 5-10 cm's Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi I'm a newbie both to this site and snowboarding. I am sitting here in London, surrounded by all my new gear, taking board lessons on a dry slope, and sweating at the lack of snow in Japan. I'll be in Akita prefecture for three weeks, starting the 19th Dec. My nearest area will be Tazawako (30-40 mins by car). In case of a snowless scenario is Hachimantai worth a visit (a long trip by car). Is it suitable for a beginner? What is the likelyhood of snow at Hachimantai? I've seen people boarding (at the summit)in May. I was in Akita in August'03 for a month, it rained for about 75% of the time while in the UK it hit 40 degrees. Now Tokyo's 25 degrees and there's a forecast of a really cold winter in the UK, am I cursed? Link to post Share on other sites

sheepshot 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Well try waiting down under, when everyone here is looking towards a long hot summer, and a few waves, they all think im mad waiting for the sara-sara to fall and get back to Nippon Alps. Only looking at a couple of weeks this season, off to save the world from Feb (www.peaceboat.org), but for those in for Jan Hakuba sessions, we shall be seeing you soon. A big shout to the Hakuba boys, 902crew chief ripper Yusaku-for convincing me to come back with a new board gift. Will enjoy some waves until then. Kiwoskite minasan.
