It was great to see that snow yesterday.
This morning it's fine and sunny. It is a beautiful morning up top, even though early things look more foggy for the moment. That will surely clear quite quickly.
We did get some more snow since my early morning report yesterday (recorded in this report). Still, the ski area obviously doesn't feel enough snow in the upper areas to open yet. The next snow is still forecast from around the middle of the coming week. Hopefully, the ski area will be open by this time next week.
Yesterday, a safety prayer ceremony (安全祈願祭) was held by officials at the ski area. There are all sorts of formal things going on. It's a bit of a special year, being the 100th anniversary of the opening of the ski area. Very cool. It is a good reminder of how much history there is in this special place.
Nozawa Onsen ski area will open as soon as there is enough snow.
