Snow Report
Monday, December 23, 2024

Well, we got more than the 70cm the locals were talking about (mostly thanks to NHK, I think), but not that far off. Denser snow than yesterday, making it a pain to get out to the study plot. I'm going to add snow density figures, too; I’ve been reviewing what I get with my tubes, bowls, scales, rulers, etc., and it seems to be some good data. So where I figure one cubic meter of snow yesterday was 102.6 kilograms, today’s serving comes in at 119.4 kg. Feels like it, too. Foot pe*******on is pretty deep, too, so, again, if you were sa snowboarder going headfirst into the 81cm total we’ve gotten at base over the past two days, you’ll want a friend nearby! Always a good idea, and more fun.

Snow Report
Sunday, December 22, 2024

Lots of snow, starting early this morning and really picking up since 7:30 or so. Something we haven’t seen much in the last few years was lightning and thunder followed by a blast of graupel (soft hail) which transitions to precipitation particles (sorry the photo isn’t great; I was fighting the loupe this morning).

Pretty unconsolidated snow at the moment, so it could be a little risky if someone were to do a head dive into the snow. Lots of wind down here at base; generally moderate with some strong gusts and a lot of snow movement. Lots of snow, but still not enough to get up into the mountains and really enjoy the ride down—still too much brush and vines.

Snow Report
Saturday, December 21, 2024

Time to start reporting, with lots of snow on the ground this year, and all the resorts open today! This has been the best year in many; we’re already at a meter here at World Headquarters, with a lot more predicted for the coming days. It’s been good snow, too; no major temperature shifts, heavy and wet to begin so the pack is nicely settled, no weird crystal layer lingering at the bottom.

It was a crazy year last year, with lots of injuries, a couple of fatalities including one on Mitahara that was tough to deal with. Take a look at my article in the new Outdoor Japan, if you’d be so kind. I hope in some small way it helps keep more people safe and thinking about snow safety (and skiing another a day, rather than risking it on a bad day).

End of rant. I’m also feeling a lot peppier this year, so I’ll do my best to keep these coming daily so we have long-term data to work with. If I have found anything, it’s that the plot data really helps before we head up the mountain, and pit test can be confirmations of what we think is there, rather than testing the unknown.

You can tell I’ve been thinking about this....and feel like talking.
