hey snow friends
just back from kagura! still lots and lots of snow at the top. early morning ( ie 7 am!! ) was really good, the snow was nice and fast. lots more skiiers than boarders resulting in building size moguls - what is it with skiiers and moguls??
however, was a wicked end to a brilliant season.
you want this party started right?

Sounds like a good trip. If you have any pics post them up!

Looks like Kagura/Mitsumata is open till May 29, so we are gonna get in a few more days also.

Is there much left at the Mitsumata part as well or are they taking you up to Kagura by bus?

On the maps Kagura looks fairly close to Nozawa is there a quick way from one to the other?
That's a smashing blouse you've got on

No, there isn't.

Naeba > Yuzawa > Ishiuchi > Tsunan > Nozawa is the closest (I think!), probably about 2 hours drive.

got some wicked pics... how do i upload them???
i took the ropeway from the car park up to the family course ( mitsumata ) then a scoot down the gondola. . same as usual. i used a super slick graphite wax and was flying over the snow... did a few runs through the trees and had a few scares ( open holes anyway?? ).... definetely worth going up again!!!

upload them to Image shack
its very handy and it auto generates all the codes etc so you can cut and paste really easily to another site.
plus you can upload zip files of a stack of photos and not have to upload them indivddually.

It's a strange one that lift. What is the reason they don't open it - "safety"?? I'm sure they used to open it more in spring time.

Do they actually get enough people to make it worthwhile to stay open?

Good pictures. I love sketchy ski outs like that first picture is turning into
