Once again the famous Fire Festival has passed for another year. The flags and dosojin statues are being taken down and everyone is nursing their wounds and headaches after what was truly a spectacular night.
It was a firey and sake soaked evening that went off perfect to the delight of the huge crowd that assembled to witness the time honored tradition. As in the past years it was snowing a bit at the start, which made the location even more stunning.
On the slopes we have had up to 20cm in some places since lifts closed yesterday and the day is relatively clear. With many having a lie in this morning for the genki ones it should be a quiet and beautiful day on the mountain.
The outlook is for a few days of sun and then some more snow over next weekend.
Anyone keen to come up for the Fire Festival next year and stay best to not leave it too long to book as it tends to fill fast and we already have a few people here now that have booked in again for next year. Must be enjoying the festivities and amazing snow conditions!
