And we're off! Hopefully.
Rock-n-roll!
A good snow fall overnight, with more scheduled for next several days. I wouldn't call it a "dump", but I did have to do a full de-snowification of my car this morning. Side bar: I love the people who don't clear the snow from their car roofs...and then it slides down onto the windshield later.
At this point in the season, all snow contributions are gratefully accepted. We'll need quite a bit more to open the Kitanomine side by the 21st as scheduled.
Think snow.
Ropeway & D Lift open.
