We have certainly been blessed over the weekend with terrific snowfalls that have provided the powder hounds with plenty of fresh snow to carve tracks in. Kitanomine Zone is in great condition for this time of the year, and with both zones now open there is plenty of terrain variety available. A further 5cm of snow fell overnight. Temperatures are relatively mild today and it looks like the cloud that is currently around the tops will pass.
