Good morning skiers and boarders,


Looking good, Houston. We're getting there, just not very quickly. Another 9 cm overnight. The forecast calls for many days of light snow, but alas, nothing major on the horizon.


The snow itself is very good. Temps are nice and cold again. Basically in a holding pattern awaiting further developments.


That's all I have to say about that.


Think snow.


Lifts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Furano Zone magic carpet. Night skiing on Furano side until 6:00 PM.
