Oh yes I like this. Ou-yuki indeed!
Lots of snow this morning. The headline is the 50-60cm that Kagura are reporting this morning. Wu-e-hey!! (Check out that +10cm on the snow depth number!)
I want to get out there now.
Here in Naeba it's not quite that much but still a very nice layer of new snow. It started to fall in earnest, if you know what I mean, in the evening yesterday and doesn't seem to have let up. I would say 30-40cm here in Naeba.
It goes without saying that today conditions should be, wait for it, epic! I never use that word lightly.
For the moment looks like resort areas are all open as planned. Time to give it a go.
