Good Morning Skiers and Boarders,
Cue the choir! Start the Hallelujah Chorus! The Kitanomine magic carpet is NOW OPEN!!
I honestly thought I might not live to see the day.
In addition to providing a ride up for super beginners, it really helps folks heading from the the Gondola terminal building to get to the #1 Kitanomine quad chair, err, excuse me, Chair F. No more trudging up the hill! Let me hear you say AMEN!!!!
In other news, a bit more snow. Mother N has doubled yesterday's measly donation. Woo-hoo! Now we're talking! 4 cm! (Sarcasm)
Supposed to get up to +1 C. For the foreseeable future, that seems to be the pattern. Just a titch over 0 every day, but plenty cold at night.
As Forrest Gump says, "That's all I have to say about that!"
Think snow.
Furano: All except Lift B
Kitanomine: All Lifts. Repeat, All Lifts.
Night skiing until 7:30 PM on both sides
