A Sweet Spring Day

Spring has no doubt come to Yuzawa and with the tempertures hovering around the low to mid teens in town you can now just get away with a T-shirt, today I have done just that. The remaining resorts which are still open in the Yuzawa and Minamiunoma area are Pine Ridge Resorts Kandatsu, Kagura, Naeba, Gala, Iwappara and Maiko of these Maiko and Kandatsu are closing this weekend but Kagura, Naeba and Gala will still be open till into May. Its defientley worth a trip up for some nice spring snow.

Blue Skies and Bright Sunshine

This season hasn`t seen many of those with all the snow days so it was good to get out and have half a day lesson in the sunshine in just a jumper, the piste conditions could be described as perfect esically during the morning, it was great to have a sneak peak of what spring may have in store for us. But for the resort of the week accoriding to the JMA is snow until next week Friday starting tonight/early tomorrow morning.

Perfect weekend ahead

This weekend is set to be the best yet for snow conditions in Yuzawa, its absolutely dumping at the moment and only briefly stopped about 2am this morning, first lifts tomorrow morning sounds like a really good idea! Some member of the welovesnow team are heading to Tashiro tomorrow while others are at some of the smaller resorts like Naspa and Gala. I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend and remember to dress warmly.

WeLoveSnow on TV !

This afternoon Niigata Supernews came and talked to us about the guiness record, they took footage of Josh, Partick and Koji at Gala Ski Resort in preparation and re-breaking the records this year. We discussed it in small and have included alot of night skiing and expanding across to Maiko Ski Resort, Ishiuchi Maruyama and Joetsu Kouksai. We will have to wait and see, the footage will be aired on the 22nd of Janurary from about 6:30pm.

Gala Opening Day - still dumping snow

Saturday saw the beginning of the season in earnest. Whilst we've been enjoying the snow up in Kagura for the past few weeks, it feels great when the town resorts open up as well.

I got to Gala in the afternoon. It would have been better to have some more time on the slopes, but it took a while to recover from the night before - the opening night of the bottle bar...

This was a shame, because the snow conditions are fantastic. Its been snowing heavily on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
