It is all good news to report today. Yesterday around midday it started to snow lightly and really started to accumulate on the ground late afternoon. By evening there was 15cm of the light dry Furano powder in the streets around the village. Expect significantly more than this amount on the ski area itself. Yesterday's winds have died down for now but strong winds are forecast to return around midday and continue throughout the night. The morning sun is hitting the mountain and there is blue sky all around - a picture perfect day. Main runs have been extensively groomed.
