Morning from Nozawa.

Unfortunately, the rain did turn up fairly soon after I posted my report yesterday which was... disappointing.

This morning the resort is reporting light snow up top (no cm to report) and just cloud down at base. There is certainly a big bank of cloud hanging over the upper part of the mountain with limited visibility up there.

+3C here in the village as of 8am, tomorrow should be a bit colder.

One thing I love about Naski/Nasuki is how happy he/she always seems to be, whatever the conditions.

That's why he/she is everyone's favourite bright green skiing vegetable mascot.
