Bluebird yesterday.
Nice and cold earlier this morning, as I got out to do some snow throwing with my trusty Peter (the local name for the snowthrowers; don’t know why but it seems to be just here and down to Joetsu City by the ocean).
Not a huge amount of fresh, but maybe there will be more up high to make backcountry a little more fun. Should be great on the resorts, so I’m out now to take in a bit of it myself; hope the resorts are reporting early.
I’m pleased that a lot of them do have new information up before 8 am. You’d think, right?
