Merry Christmas to you all from Nozawa Onsen.
And it is a very fine morning here.
After some early morning ho-ho-ho-ing, I can finally get to my report. (I just wish we could see Naski dressed up as Santa-san, wouldn't that be fun!)
Anyway, yes, it's a lovely morning. Relatively mild too, but it will get colder again from tomorrow and we should be getting snowed on before night time tomorrow and on Friday and perhaps on Saturday too.
All but 3 runs now officially open.
I am seriously liking the way this season is shaping up!
(PS Sorry, I mixed up Mukobayashi and Bunabayashi in my list over the last few reports. Bunabayashi is open, Mukobayashi not. My apologies).
