Buenos dias esquiadoras y snowboarders!


It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day...again!


Snowed off and on steadily yesterday. I'm surprised it only added up to 6 cm, but the tape measure doesn't lie.


Enjoy the snow. Work on that lower face tan. Get your vitamin D replenished.


Nuttin' else to say.


Think snow.


Furano: All lifts except B.

Kitanomine: All lifts except magic carpet.

Night skiing until 6:00 PM on both sides.
