Morning from a cold early early-March Saturday morning in Nozawa.


We got some pretty decent snowfall yesterday, actually! The skijo is reporting up to 46cm at the top of the mountain. A somewhat surprising amount, perhaps, but I'm going to be going up there to check it out this morning!


Naski is pleased.


It should be a very fine morning and mild up fairly quickly.


Sun from the get go tomorrow maybe?


Have a good weekend.
