Last Day of Winter
Last Day of Winter
Still waking up to -4 degrees and a massive 400cm base of snow up at Yamabiko. It has been a big winter and personally really looking forward to Spring and some magnificent Spring skiing. With all that base it is going to be a long season with still 2 months of skiing to go!
Yesterday was a magnificent day up on the slopes. Early cloud cover kept the snow firm and then eventually gave way to sunshine and a beautiful sunset. This morning is sunny from the get go. There may be some scattered cloud but will be another awesome day on the slopes so get up there and enjoy it today as will be a bit busier tomorrow with the weekend crowds.
