Good Morning Skiers & Boarders,


Today's theme--Mr. Blue Sky. (A great tune from ELO. Check it out).


Good news: snow expected this afternoon and tonight.


Bad news: It might get up to +1 C tonight while it's snowing. I hate it when that happens.


Got quite chilly last night--down to -17 C in town, and then zoomed up quickly to -2 C now.


Nuttin' else to say.


Think snow.


Apologies for no report yesterday. Please note that the 4cm of snowfall added to this report is from yesterday (and what would have normally been reported yesterday).


Furano: All except Lift B

Kitanomine: All except magic carpet

Night skiing tonight on both sides until 7:30 PM.
