Hello from Nozawa and it's a beautiful morning with clear blue skies and bright sunshine.
We also have lots of nice new snow thanks to the previous few days, and so today should really be a whole lot of fun. I'm sorry I missed first tracks.
Thanks also to the snowfall, there's only several runs that are now now open and insignificantly so.
Naski is back out and about and taking in the rays this morning - and looking particularly bright green this morning. I'm off out myself now. :)
