Saturday sunshine

Good morning everyone, we woke to a crisp chilly morning with blue skies today. It’s encouraging feeling the temp drop around the village which confirms the predictions that a change is on it’s way.  So predicted snowfall is currently sitting at over 1m for the week and expected to start snowing lightly tonight with the larger fall coming in Monday night.  Will definitely keep you updated!!  Get those boards freshly waxed so you’re ready.  The sun will be out today, it’ll be nice and fun up there and great for some photo shots at the top of Yamabiko before the snow arrives.

Have a great day everyone, stay safe up there and we’ll see you on the mountain.
