It is snowing very nicely this morning and really started to pile up over the last few hours.
Naski (our favourite bright green skiing vegetable) has only been out at Hikage for less than an hour, and already has a nice snow hat thing going on. Looks happy! (See below).
Snow and possibly windy conditions is what we have ahead of us until at least the weekend.
I get the feeling we are going to be seeing some very large amounts of snowfall.
Exciting!
Limited visibility out on the mountain... take super care.
