Happy February!!
Personally, I hope Feb has more snow than Jan. Keep your fingers crossed.
Today is Day 2 of the annual Bonchi Powder Festival in the Kitanomine Gondola parking lot. Stop by and check it out.
A bit of new snow, fairly nice outside. High will be -3 C. Great conditions. Let 'er rip.
Think snow.
