Morning everyone.
And yes it is going to be a very good early morning. Lots of fresh snow - 30-40cm of it being reported by the resort at least that lower number down below being measured by myself. Nice. And it's still snowing (though just cloud seems to be what is on the forecast for later in the day).
It is keeping cold, currently -4C down at base and -10C up top so wrap up well before heading out.
Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan and so it will be busier than a normal Monday. It seems we might be enjoying a bit of sunshine in the morning.
