Snow!
The ski area is this morning reporting 30cm of snowfall up on the open Yamabiko area, and I have just measured 17cm.
So, a decent amount overnight. It's still snowing with more due over this weekend. And then perhaps we'll get some sun on Monday (but back to snow mid-week).
Ski area operations remain the same as they have been at the start of the day, but as we get more snow I am guessing that some expansion is imminent!
Naski is pleased.
