Good morning from Nozawa.
It's snowing... in a this-season-special kind of way (ie. not huge dump) but the resort reports up to 10cm of snow on the upper slopes this morning and it is continuing to snow as the lifts start moving. Not expected to last that long today though with the day ending up with the sun shining down on us a possibility.
From the official info it looks like Challenge 39 has opened up - going to give that a go today.
Clear skies and sun are forecast for tomorrow after a cold night tonight.
For those of us looking for dumps of snowfall though Tuesday night seems to be what we should be looking forward to. Let's hope it happens.
