A breezy day yesterday morning turned into a nice mix of cool breezes off the peak and warm southerlies. No crowds as most of the tourists this Golden Week were either picking flowers or merely going to the onsen.
Seki Onsen Ski Area is still in good shape and open until the 18th.

Aah, the perfect day. Temps are comfy, the village is green, and the slopes are white. Akakura has got a bunch of skiers up top, but Seki is still sparse despite the fact that it's got well over a meter left. Warm winds are mixing with the cold winds off the peaks.

Sunny skies and warm, ever so slight winds today on Myoko. This afternoon may boast the hottest day so far with southern breezes licking up the slopes early on.
It's t-shirt boarding today at Seki and Akakura Onsen's board park and probably the last run at Akakura before the bald spots start popping up everywhere. But Seki is still in good shape until the 18th.

Sunny skies over Myoko with 150cm of snow left at both Seki Onsen and Sasagamine (Sasagamine is a summer ranch now open to cross-country skiers that lies well above Suginohara). The temps aren't expected to soar too much higher than yesterday's though, and the crowds are indeed sparse. Tomorrow night the spring sliers come in droves.
Seki stays open till the 18th.

Sunny skies with cool winds off the peaks again today. The nights are warming now too, so the melting will finish up soon at Akakura (1 more week or so).
The top of Akakura is the pick of the day, with clear views of Sado Island.
Seki stays open till the 18th.
