An half 'n Half day folks.
As at report time, the sun is out at base with misty conditions further up, but, on the far-right side (summit/Utopia/Kurohime) it is snowing. Take your pick!
The way it was snowing at the end of yesterday, the amount of fresh snow today at 3cms is disappointing, however, the snow condition is very good. It is a National Holiday today so, all in all, visitors should be pleased with this long weekend.
