Greetings Nozawa loving friends.
More snow! Yes, this burst of snowy activity over the last run of days continues --- and it might well continue (on and off) into next week. Marvel(l)ous!
Naski-tastic, even! And, talking of Naski, after less than an hour out in there this morning, there's already a thin layer of snow on that bright green head. Go see it on the image below.
Currently around 0C at base, so not feeling too cold. Will be colder up on the mountain, of course, and visibility up there is looking limited at the moment.
More! More! More!
