SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 A new feature, "A Whisper....", written by Simon Wright, has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-78.html "....became a mumble, developed into a rumor and soon enough the word was out. Let’s face it, could it ever really be kept a secret? You will soon receive inquiring stares and searching glances when you mention your Niseko powder experience at the pub. And it’s not just the beer. An average snowfall of 15 meters gets dumped on the resort each year while cold temperatures provide the final touch for luscious powder. Untracked lines remain hidden for days, and a powder day below knee depth is scoffed at by spoilt locals and accompanied by the line "This ain’t nothing" as they casually shrug their shoulders. Niseko simply has the ability to provide consistent world-class powder. Unfortunately season 2004 was slower than usual." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-78.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

busu 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I wonder if its worth going up there late March for a week, or just best to go somewhere more easy to get to (and save Niseko for next season) Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 How much snow is there there now compared to an average? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Good article That's the Sheep Shagger on the couch there right? Does he ever move or sleep anywhere else? Niseko might offer the best and most frequent snow but... We need the steep to go with the deep and well most of Japan doesn't have that, inbounds. Link to post Share on other sites
