Morning from Nozawa.
There's not a whole lot to report this morning, but I'm just excited about opening tomorrow.
It doesn't look like there has been any fresh snow on the mountain though perhaps a slight dusting at the top.
Opening remains planned for tomorrow with a Yamabiko course and the Uenotaira course scheduled to be available.
We might get rained on tomorrow morning which would be a bit annoying, with some chance of sun to start off Sunday... and then... snow!
The week from Monday (late on Sunday?) is looking set to be snowy. Hopefully very snowy. Nozawa-like in it's snowy-ness, even. Now wouldn't that be fantastic.
The 2km Uenotaira cross country course will also be opening from tomorrow.
Yey!
