Morning everyone - another weekend!
I have 2cm of fresh snowfall to report to you this morning on the ground here at base.
It's a beautiful crisp morning.
The clouds have for the most part disappeared, though Mt Yotei appears to be wearing a white cloud beanie early on (and looking rather charming for it too).
But it's mainly lovely blue skies all around and bright sunshine.
A beautiful morning.
All areas ready to go. Who wouldn't want to be out there skiing or snowboarding this morning.
