Warm and a bit wet to start the last day of 2023.

A bit more snow overnight — kind of an interesting, sugary, crystaly snow — and we're back to a cloudless sky again this morning.

A pleasant surprise this morning, with a nice fall of pretty heavy snow. Good for building up that base, right?

Today is another sunny day in Myoko.

Finally, Myoko-style snow, and more openings - although the resorts are once again SLOW in letting us know.

Cold and some light snow this morning. Unfortunately, light in volume as well as weight; we only got 17cm at the base of Akakan, not enough to change things for the resorts.

The national forecasts gave the likelihood of heavy snow today, but it hasn't hit yet. Another dusting overnight, and it's snowing but bright at the moment.

Since we do have two lifts running, I'll start putting up the full listings, although it could be a few days until things really get going (and I'm being loose with a "few").

Not much to report, with the potential of heavy snow resulting in just seven centimeters overnight.

A weekend, pre-season update, following the official meeting of Akakura ski areas on the first, and a little more fresh snowfall (that is already disappearing a bit).
