A break in the snowfall....until I was finished checking for this morning, of course!
We even had a little bit of sun peeking in from the southeast, and we can barely see some blue skies over Nagano City. But light snow has once again begun to fall, and tomorrow is the first day this season where we have heavy snow forecast all day. And into the next. Right now it's alternating between sun and snow.
I wanted to add something, too, because we've had some really bad accidents around here recently, including two fatalities. Two were outside the resorts, one in.
In really deep snow, it makes sense to have your buddies close by; if you get upside down, it can go really bad really fast. Having someone there to pull you out can really be life or death! And, in the backcountry, you might think twice about pulling off the big jumps you see in videos; If you've been on actual shoots, you see how much time both photographers and athletes spend setting up the shot. You don't want to be on the hill with broken bones (and the helicopter can't fly most days here because of visibility).
