Good morning from Nozawa.
With 25cm of fresh being reported again from the top of the mountain, I am a bit surprised that more terrain/lifts aren't open this morning - the day seems to be starting with the same operations.
What is open should be in great shape, though, with that new snowfall. And it's a pretty big area in itself, of course. Though I am guessing things might start getting a bit busier from today.
We might get some more snowfall during today, but the biggest haul seems set for tomorrow night into Sunday with more in the coming week too.
Thank you, Nature! You are treating us well this December. Let's hope this pattern continues...
