Good Morning Skiers & Boarders,
A whiff of snow overnight. Properly cold today. Tomorrow's forecast now says will be below freezing all day. Unfortunately, Saturday and Sunday will apparently be tropical, with forecasted highs of +8 and +11 respectively. Unreal.
The snow escalator on the Furano side is open beginning today. Great news for beginners.
Only 7 more shopping days until Christmas.
That's all folks.
Think snow.
