Good morning all.
Lots of fresh snow this morning meaning we are on for a really decent start from tomorrow.
The resort is reporting a huge 40cm of fresh snowfall; I am not measuring quite as much as that, but it's still an impressive amount.
They are able to get the grooming machines out now and are getting everything prepared for tomorrow.
Exciting times.
(We might even get some sunshine at times over the weekend).
Here are the plans... or were the plans... might they open up more with this snowfall?
- Open from tomorrow
- The Number 1 lift will be operating
- 8:30am until 4:00pm
- Paradise and Beginner B courses will be available
- 1 day ticket: 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children
Madarao and Tangram both plan to open from tomorrow!
