Lovely weather conditions this morning. The sun is out and blue skies above. It was cold overnight but it should warm up a bit today with a high temperature in village of around 4C this afternoon. Tomorrow should be even milder and there's that chance of rain as well. Milder climes will probably be with us into early next week with the next decent snowfall around Tuesday into Wednesday maybe?

From tomorrow, more Nozawa Onsen terrain will be opening up. Joining in the fun from tomorrow will be the Paradise Quad lift and the Yu Road moving walkway. Courses that will be open in addition to what we have open now are the Yunomine A course, the Paradise and Paradise connecting corse and the Rinkan course. Totally over 15km of course according the resort, sounds good to me!

Lift tickets are 3000 yen for adults, 1500 yen for childen and 2000 yen for seniors up until Friday 21st, so another week of those.
