Snowdon's too rocky.

Had my second day skiing the Brecon Beacons National Park on Christmas Eve. Superb.

60+ cm of snow forecast between this morning and Thursday morning, so New Years Eve turns are on the cards.

SH,
Shoulder is great! The bruise is almost gone now too. Almost my entire shoulder went black from the injection - was gnarly! I am so glad I had it when I did, and spent the weekend unable to move it because it is pain free and moving without impingement!

Lights are coming on about 3pm I think...but I haven't really noticed the transition. Just enjoying the day biggrin

Slow morning this morning, not much new snow overnight it seems so we are in no hurry. My 20th Wedding Anniversary today thumbsup Dinner at J-Secca tonight groovy

Hi Guys - appreciate everyone being involved and great to see other pics added wink
This thread started as a means to share part of the season with MIKE POW who unfortunately can't be here this season.
I am guessing most people on this thread know Mike Pow who kept an awesome thread going all the way through the season with tons of sweet pics.
It is a free world and all but if you want to have personal conversations on this thread why not just email that stuff or start another thread - no offense - maybe the niseko check in thread?
Kinda keen on pics and basic commentary

Good idea..... I agree, lets leave this to Jishipi's pics, there's no limit to starting new threads.

BUT, you know what that means, mate.... that you need to post tons of pics and info

Ventured up Hirafu today and it was looking ok down low - what are with these things ? Snowbikes ?

The higher i went the nastier it got.

Wind packed and hard up top with zero visibility.
Off course still pretty bad - mainly tracked with 'dust on crust' managed one fun line through Miharashi...not sure if the Gondola cue was worth it though.

Did spot this cool jacket while waiting !

Seems like leather is all the rage this year smile

Leather?! veryshocked
I wouldn't take my leather out in snowy weather.

Interesting pics. I think it's a Snow Scoot. Well the resorts round here seem to call it that anyway.

I'd like to see the best snow scooter in the world ride just like i'd like to see the best player of the spoons lay it down ! BTW the storm has kicked in here in Niseko - snow blowing sideways and looks like the on mountain new years festivities will be canceled after all. Don't quote me on that though.

Taking measurements from Niseko Now, as of 02 January Hirafu is up to 5.4m of snowfall at village level so far.

With all of January and February to go. Looking good for a 14m + winter
