The mostly cloudy morning turned into snowy afternoon exactly as the forecast promised. It kept snowing lightly over the night, and we start this moring with 5-7cm of fresh snowed.
The snow has stopped by now, and the sun is trying to show up. The visibility is good out there, and only afew people on the slopes. It looks like the last day of the season should be good!
It's been an excellent season this year with a lot of snow and great conditions. It's a shame that the resort is closing though as there is so much snow left... well, green season is just around the corner.
The snow clearers will need to work hard for Rusutsu Resort to reopen in three weeks for the green season operations.
Thanks for reading the resorts this season and.... see you next season!
