Well, well, for the first time in 4 days, and only the third time in 9 days, we have a whiff of snowfall...2 cm.

Cue the choir! Start the Hallelujah Chorus! The Kitanomine magic carpet is NOW OPEN!!

No real changes from recent conditions, so no consternation on your part is warranted, nor accepted.

Good news: snow expected this afternoon and tonight.

Woke up to snow coming down, and it's still coming down.

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day...again!

A beautiful day for powder lovers, and snow lovers in general.

What a day! Started out cloudy this morning, then about an hour ago, it suddenly cleared.

Another day, another 10 cm. I'm still impatient for the first dump of the season, but darn if these little bits of daily dust don't add up to great stuff.

A bit of snow. Cold temps. Sudden closure of the Gondola just before opening.

After a lovely, snowy day yesterday, Mother Nature decided to have a little fun at our expense.

A glorious day if you like snow. It's a-snowin' & a-blowin out there. Viz is still 500 m, so this is perfect conditions as far as I'm concerned.

Another day. A bit more snow. Nothing epic yet, but those little days sure do add up.

Not much change from yesterday, frankly. Nice and cold.
