The winter is finally about to get underway in Minakami as of Saturday December 10th when Tenjin will open.
We've been watching the mountains gradually turn white over the recent weeks with great anticipation. There have been a couple of warmer spells which have pushed the opening date back a bit but as of tomorrow it is all back on again.
There's a base of 35cm up there at the moment and it is snowing right now so there may be some good lines to be had first thing tomorrow. It probably won't be the whole resort open tomorrow but will be as much as they can. The lift ticket will only be 2,500 yen too so get your gear ready and we will see you up there.
