Good morning on a Saturday!
After a few days of a dry spell I am back with some snow fall to report. There is a nice fluffy layer of 5cm in the Kitanomine village so the slopes on the mountain will be refreshed with dry powder. Cant wait to get to it in about an hour.
There is no wind at the moment, and there shouldn't be anything significant come our way for the next few days. Light cloud is covering the sky right now, but this should lift during the morning to let some sunshine come down upon us.
There won't be much in the way of snow for the next few days other than a light dusting. Tomorrow will be cloudy.
