It is a nice calm morning and overnight there has been some snow which I have measured to be 5cm.

The crowds seem to be building up in the resort with a decent wait necessary to get onto the Kitanomine lifts this morning.

Yesterday was a very good day, with the gondola getting back in operation and a good dump of 12cm of new snow.

Happy New Year 2018, which was welcomed in by a fireworks display last night at the base of the Furano Zone.
