Nice surprise this morning to wake up to a little fresh snow. Not a lot, but really light snow, and it keeps falling, so we keep hoping for more. But it’s also really foggy today, just like yesterday from about 10:30-11am. Warmer today, too, although still in minus territory.


Not much to add; only that the big Kokutai—the national ski meet—is coming up this weekend. Shouldn’t interrupt too much of the regular resort business, and there is the chance to watch some jumping or cross country or ski racing.
