Wow a perfect morning with great news. There has been an additional 14cm of fresh snow since yesterday. All lifts are operating except the Kitanomine Gondola. More of Kitanomine has been opened up except the terrain that can only be accessed by the Gondola. No wind, blue sky, sunshine and fresh snow will make a great day. With all that fresh snow out there it will be a great powder day. Enjoy!


All lifts expected to operate except Kitanomine Gondola.
