Happy New Year.
Here we go 2021. We're all rooting for a good one.
The year starts as it ends... with snow.
The most being reported this morning is from the Usagidaira area of Happo-one - they are reporting 50cm. 47 are reporting 25-40cm. Cortina are reporting 30cm. Ski areas are working hard to deal with all the fresh from the last few days and there are likely some delays this morning. Looks like the Riesen Grat course and Grat quad will be closed at Happo-one today.
We really couldn't be asking for much more in terms of snow at the moment and for that we are surely thankful.
Forecasts tell us to expect snow today and tomorrow with things easing off around Sunday.
Take care out there.
