Hello!


Some confirmed news from Arai as they are now saying that they plan to be open until 15th May. The gondola opens from 8:00am for 'first class' tickets and 8:30am for 'economy class' tickets. Both lifts close at 3:30pm (for everyone).


I note that are also saying that their total cumulative snowfall for the season is... 2216cm.


Yes, over 22m.


It's fine this morning with some thin cloud. Unfortunately after today it looks as if there is a chance of some rain tomorrow through Saturday. Sunday is right now primed for a return to sun, which would be nice.
