Snow on the ground this morning; not a lot, but it did hint at the pretty cold temperatures today (the woodstove has been put back into service). A little windy at times, but the lifts are going at Akakan and Seki, and there's still plenty of snow on the ground.
The spring backcountry season also officially kicked-off with the opening of Koya Ike Hut, at the base of Mt. Hiuchi.
