Good morning from Zao.
A cloudy last day of Golden Week here with the chance of rain.
It's quite funny, I have been trying to find confirmation that today is actually the last day of the ski season on the official site(s)... but without success. You'd think they might mention it!
Anyway, I am pretty sure it is.
And it is my last time posting for this season.
Thank you for reading and hopefully see you again next season.
