Good Morning Skiers and Snowboarders,
Another day, another 10 cm. I'm still impatient for the first dump of the season, but darn if these little bits of daily dust don't add up to great stuff. Hardy tree skiers report being able to push their poles down as far as they can and still not hit the surface. The snow mounds along the street are as big as they ever get, making intersections all sorts of fun. I know I'm shoveling almost every day, so there you go. There is snow in abundance.
The gondola had a sudden mechanical issue this morning. Let's hope that it's something minor, cuz people sure do like their gondola. I myself only take it when there is no line, but now I'm editorializing. You just keep doing you.
All good. Right. Carry on.
Think snow.
Furano Zone: All lifts except B.
Kitanomine: Gondola & magic carpet closed.
Night skiing on both sides until 6:00 PM.
