Good Morning Fanatic Skiers & Boarders,
Ski during Golden Week!! If you're reading this report on the last day of April, you are truly a fanatic. Congratulations!
Today is the first day of last week of operations for the 2025-26 season. Does that make sense? Counting today, the resort will operate for 7 more days. The countdown has begun, and will end on May 6.
Conditions haven't materially changed up on the mountain. Only the D lift is operating, with the Ropeway tram whisking you up and down from the base. It's fun, mellow, and very relaxed up there, and you can really work on your face tan!
Enjoy.
