Good Morning Skiers & Boarders!
BEAUTIFUL day today here in Furano. While Sapporo, only 2 hours away, was getting slammed the last few days, we've been enjoying sunny, blue skies. Of course, we would have appreciated the snow, but you can't always get what you want. We DID get a very fluffy 4 cm overnight. You could literally blow it off your car.
It'll warm up to a positively balmy -4 C today, a huge difference from the recent cold snap. STILL no snow on the horizon, so enjoy the blueness, work on your tan, work on your carving turns, and have a great day! But...as always...
Think snow.
