I reckon 4 weeks time it’ll be a whole lot better!!!!!

Not sure if this is just a really bad year, but even in a bad year, Feb is the equivalent of our August so it’ll be peak conditions!!!!!

I head over to Myoko on Feb 9 and looking at the 14 day outlook it’s getting better.  I agree with Mizu - give it another 2-3 weeks and I think it will be a different story…

Uhhh - yeah let’s catch up for a drink…... as long as you aren’t wearing a sweater like that…..  confused

Some of our group will be at Hotel Taizan and some others I think it’s Akakura Park Hotel or something like that.

Ah no, I don’t own a sweater like that. A full bodysuit however…

Let’s hope the long range forecast is on the money and we get some decent powder over there.  A mate of mine got back this morning from Hakuba, arrived there on Xmas day and said that while it was a mixed bag (some great pow and some average groomers depending on the day) it was still pretty good all things considered:

If you guys are rocking up on the Saturday I’m guessing that will have you in town by mid-arvo, so let’s organize drinks and dinner for everyone followed by a Sunday shred session on Sugi for the 14th.  I’ve never been before so will take guidance on where is good to go out beers
