Posted on Tuesday 13th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It's a beautiful day out there - too bad for a lot of people that the three-day weekend was over yesterday!
It's partly cloudy, with a nice warm (but not too hot) sun shining down. It looked pretty cloudy to the north and the ocean, but the clouds are dissipating as they get closer, so it's still mostly sunny. The resorts aren't reporting any new snow, but there is about 5cm of light stuff on top of yesterday's big fall.
Besides a Christmas-card-like day (trees heavy with snow, sparkling flakes in the sunlight), the Shin-Akakura area is holding a nightly saké event at a kamakura (Japanese-style igloo) right next to the Sky Cable gondola at Akakan. Nice way to absorb some local culture, with all local saké.
