Good morning.

Yesterday we had rain, turning into sleet, turning into snow. And we have snow on the forecast for today, though right now there is even a bit of sun. Mostly cloudy though.


It's quite windy too at times, hopefully that won't affect lifts but there is a chance it will.


The weekend is looking like it will be snowing a lot in many areas of Japan, including here!
