Good morning.


I need to get myself to Nagano this morning on some urgent business and so unfortunately I am unable to post an in-depth report this morning. My apologies. Below is how things seem to be shaping up early this morning...


Resorts that are part open as of this morning:


- Takamagahara Mammoth

- Kumanoyu (more area able to open from today)

- Ichinose Family

- Yakebitaiyama


I will be going into more detail in my report tomorrow morning.
