Happy to announce the first real snow of the year today!
Woke up to the sound of thunder rolling down from the mountains—always a good sign! Maybe 10cm on the ground as of 8 am, with a pretty good wind coming in from the south/west (it's always hard to tell here at the base of Mt. Myoko, as those western winds we really want to see bringing in the snow will appear southerly after swinging through the gap between Mt. Kurohime and Mt. Myoko.
The ski areas officially opened this Monday, with the traditional ceremony followed by the usual all-day party. Hard life up here in the hills....
The snow is coming down pretty steadily now. Perhaps we really will get that first solid base for the season?
