You won't be able to get that song out of your head now.
Unseasonably warm and buckets of rain, but now we're back on track |

Wednesday 03 December to Friday 05 December 2008
Grand Hirafu, Niseko Resort Area
0cm of snow at MQ.
Plenty of rain though. Almost washed the snow away, but around 9pm Friday it started to snow.
Saturday 06 December 2008
Grand Hirafu, Niseko Resort Area
And it kept snowing all through the night.
13cm in the past 24hrs at MQ.
Much more up top.
Good turns today. Limited terrain though. Wind was howling for a time so only Ace #3 double was open. Then the wind died down and they opened up the King Hooded Triple. Much better.
Roped off (most of) the mountain from the King Bell area down due to lack of snow. More like lack of clue.
Tokyu. Japanese for 'couldn't run a bath'
The run back to the base of the quad was boot top all the way, hardly any ice scratch. Great turns.
Still snowing. Tommorrow will be great. |
