Good morning.

I don't have much to report, but I thought I would just quickly update the report to show you how we have gone from that pleasing covering of snow back to the greens and late autumn shades. Well, not at Hanazono as of 7:10am - that fog-like scenery should clear quickly. It will probably have cleared soon after I post this report.

The ski areas hope to be able to open four weeks today, Saturday 28th November.

If we are lucky we might get a bit more snow going into Monday morning. I wouldn't get too excited about it but...

Make it so!
