Happy March, and spring is here today.
Another day of sun following fog and rain; a good day to go out and explore the woods (which I am about to do). Nice to see lots of Japanese faces on the hill as well; no offense to our international guests, but you do want to see the locals coming to slide as well.
Next up: will we actually get much more snow in this last month of the season? There’s not much on the forecast, but maybe next week? I would like to get a little more use out of that snowthrower (the second-most-expensive vehicle I own).
The Champion No. 3 lift, the link from Akakura Onsen to Akakan, apparently broke down yesterday, with guests being lowered on harnesses, and is not running today. Looks like people will have to make the 10-minute or so walk down the hill to return to the Akakan side (or grab one of the free resort shuttles).
