Good morning from Nozawa.
It doesn't feel quite as cold this morning (still cold though) and we're back to snow falling from the skies and 20+cm on the ground. Visibility might be limited in the higher areas this morning, but there should be some very good conditions to be found up there. Snow is due through today and into tomorrow.
So yes, the Kandahar lift and slope is open to the general public today. That area - the far left as you look to the mountain from the village - is only open to the general public on limited days during the season (it is usually used for competitions and training), and today is one of those days.
Let's Kandahar! Chansu! I bet Nasuki is going to be checking it out....
