First Snow 2009

12 Oct 2009

The first snow for the season fell a few days ago on my birthday when a typhoon rolled in over Japan. Almost enough for me to ski Yari, but not quite. Today the clouds passed and left us with a perfect Hakuba day.

In the Shirouma-dake area, did it snow?
It is the opening of the season of pleasant snow.

Nigel - this 4 month off season really seems to be dragging on. Thanks for the bd wishes. See you some time this season.

Sakuchan - snow on Shirouma Dake has almost gone. Hopefully Daisekke will be good in the next 3 weeks.

It's good to see snow on the local hills and activity on your blog again after 5 months.
I'm looking forward to another season of your adventures.
Am sorry I couldn't bring the dog for a hike with Lloyd during this summer - next year, I hope.
