A nice day today, as more and more resorts begin opening up. And we have the snow, for now at least, with light snow on the forecast for most of the coming week.

Snow and snow and snow.

Back in Myoko, just in time for the first major dump of the year!

Well, the pre-season - or should I say, some lingering pre-season work - had me not in the snow, but near a sunny beach resort in the tropics.

Snow kept going overnight here in Myoko; I'm going to add a bit to this morning's recorded fall so we get to our recorded total depth of snow for these two days.

I think we can say the snow season has officially begun.

It's not going to last (I think), but the first real snowfall at base level deserves a report!

One month to go to the official opening, a touch of snow on the peak, so time, I think, for a pre-report on the 2018-2019 season.

The final report from Myoko for season 2017-2018.

The season is really coming to an end, as Akakura Kanko ends its year today.

The last day for Akakura Onsen, and we have fresh snow on the ground!

Wasn’t necessarily planning on writing every day, but I had to with snow on the ground. Very light, but it’s snow, and very fine snow is falling at the moment.

It's here: the last day for the season at most of the resorts.

Early report again for the second-to-the-last-day for most of the Myoko area resorts.
