This morning seems to be the day when all the resorts suddenly decide to add a chunk of snow to their official snow depth numbers! Of course, a very decent snowfall helps and that is what has have had here. It is a colder morning and it is snowing. A lot. Very nice snowfall here.
There's a wind as well that looks like it may affect operations in more exposed areas (Terakoya and Shibutoge looking the most at risk), but I think we'll all just be happy that we have a decent snowfall.
Looks like it should ease off later today and might be sunny. Snow due back on Thursday!
Should be great out there today.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
