Snow is falling, and it seems to be picking up in quantity (and the quality doesn't look too bad either!). Yesterday we never really got to full rain--so I didn't post an update (let's say it got as bad as very wet snow, although just a few hundred meters down the hill it was genuinely raining hard). Now it's back to the good stuff, and colder temperatures. Not that much accumulated since yesterday, but now things are starting to get covered up again.


Pretty strong winds earlier made me worry we might see some lift closures, but the big gusts are down now. Only Suginohara No. 3—which always seems to close for "course inspection" when the winds are up, is questionable at the moment. Check before you go.
