Morning.


This morning we get another does of fine weather before the next snow moves in tomorrow. It's a really cold morning and hardly any wind, the snow should be in fine condition. Kumanoyu report 20cm of fresh since yesterday morning and I'm guessing there's going to be about that out there on the runs to enjoy this morning.


I was over at Okushiga yesterday. Snow was great. I know the quiet spots, but it sure was extra quiet.
