Nice light on the slopes yesterday. Eric Balshan caught the Yamabiko chair in full glow, thanks Eric

New Snow: 10 cm up top
If you are considering a day off then today may be your day. Bad news is it is raining in the Village at the moment, has been most of the night. Rain on a ski trip is a bit like rain on your wedding day, never a great thing! Good news is that they are reporting snow up top 10cm since close of lifts. Also freezing levels are set to drop from tonight and moderate snowfalls should follow!
The other good news is it is one of the first days of the season we have not had to shovel buckets of fresh snow to get the car out!
Yesterday was a great day on the mountain with lots of sunshine in the morning and then the clouds rolled in later in the day. Was a clear day so made for some good photos
Anyway, good day to get into one of the 13 free Onsens in town. If you go to the Tourist information office you can get a book and if you go to all 13 Onsens can score a free bandana. Otherwise there are a number of private ones to explore including the new Furusato which has an outdoor onsen and Arena where you can also get a bite to eat at the restaurant or get a massage to ease those mountain aches!
Oyu the most famous Onsen in Nozawa with the foot spa just opposite. Great spot to kick back and watch the world go by photo by Julie Jobson. Thanks Julie
