We're still not near to having enough snow for snow cats to start packing things down and get ready for resort operations.

There is some genuine snow coming down in Myoko this morning.

I know that many of you get very excited in the days leading up to ski areas opening, and while it really doesn't make that much difference in thinking about those openings some get rather frustrated if you don't mark every new fall of snow.

Just a quick addition here, as it did snow again, not much, but it is whiter further up the mountain!

Snow has made it down to the base level; it's melted since then, so I almost forgot to put up a weekend/new week report as we get closer to official opening dates.

It was a foggy morning at Mt. Myoko; when the mists moved the snow is still up there, almost down to the Akakura Kanko Hotel.
