Morning from Madarao.


It's shaping up to be a great morning here. Some cloud still around after the snow-fest of yesterday; the resort is not reporting any fresh but I have some to report since writing yesterday. There's more than that in wind-swept places. Basically, lots of snow - we are doing well at the moment.


A very cold start to the day too.


Great stuff.


Looks like there's going to be clearer skies rather than snow for the most part into next week now. As long as it keeps cold, should be good.


Monday is a national holiday in Japan so it's a long weekend upcoming.


The Madarao Kogen Fire Festival is on Saturday 12th January starting from 8:30pm.
