A new Setting Journals feature - "White Season 2005-2006 Report" - has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/setting-journals-28.html "Summer 2005 in Japan was the kind where tarmacs at airports soften to the point that loaded down planes sometimes get stuck & need to be pulled free. There was little respite from the heat during daytime, but nights began to cool significantly. Occasionally a typhoon would blow over the Japanese archipelago, cooling things down at the upper elevations.
A few years back in September the resort hosted a country music festival (featuring Roseanne Cash, The Charlie Daniels Band & others) on a neighboring plateau about 1,000 meters above sea level. The bands that day (who had been expecting to play at the resort) froze in the typhoon at that elevation. Upon return to the resort, a shivering band member came off the bus and immediately asked for directions to the nearest bar (whiskey was required to warm her up). The Plateau concerned actually closes each winter due to the amount of snow there, & is only accessible via Pisten Bully..." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/setting-journals-28.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on SnowJapan are not necessarily those of SnowJapan.
