Morning from Nozawa.
A bit more fresh snow to report this morning and the day is starting with mostly cloudy skies and very light snow falling just now. Snow falling at times over the next few days seems to be what the forecasts are saying. And maybe by the end of the week we will see some sunshine.
Visibility looks pretty good on most of the mountain, limited currently on the top Yamabiko runs.
Nasuki is all set for the day and looking particularly happy and definitely up for it.
Hope to see some of you on the slopes. I think I must have spoken to folk from 20 different countries over the last week here in Nozawa. That wasn't something you could do when I first came here over twenty years ago...
