The forecast was spot on - snow, and plenty of it. We were over the other side of the hill for most of the day where the snow was falling too.
Apparently it started snowing at about 11 o'clock in Minakami and by 1 there was already 10cm. By the time we got back to base there was 30cms lying around - a very welcome sight.
Just in time for the resorts too who were all hoping to open this weekend.
Tenjin is probably the pick of the bunch, but both Houdaigi and Norn have limited openings on Saturday. Okutone have postponed their Saturday opening and are now aiming to be up and running by Sunday.
It looks as if there will be a bit more snow over the next couple of days too. We always like it when the season starts with a big one. It's arrived about a week early than last year, so we're taking that as a good sign.
