Morning from Nozawa where... it's sunny.
Hmmm, where be the storm?
We did get some snowfall yesterday with the resort yesterday afternoon reporting 3-5cm across the mountain, but no more snowfall this morning and as I said sun along with some blue skies over us at the start of the day.
Good news this morning is that the upper parts of Skyline are once again open (lower part still closed) as well as Schneider and Kamoshika course.
A good storm for a few days would hopefully get most of the rest of them open... it is still being promised by the forecast. Proper heavy snowfall is expected tonight and snow clouds due to be over Nozawa and the region through the week and over the weekend.
Come on!!!
