Morning from Nozawa.


Fresh snow!


The resort is this morning reporting 5-10cm of fresh snow (base-top) and I am measuring 4cm myself here by base.


It is snowing lightly just at the moment and snow is still there on the forecast over the next few days so we can hope for more.


Should be fun playing in that fresh snow up top this morning. I might see some of you out there.
