Chasing December
*2.5cm of fresh snow has fallen since yesterday morning and at 7:20am today the temperature was -12°C. During the first eight days of December 2011 120cm of snow fell and so far in January 2012 99cm has fallen. January is shaping up nicely and the difference could be made up in less that one mornings snow fall!

What’s happening today
All the gates are scheduled to open this morning so powder hunting will be the order of the morning whilst the snow keeps falling.
If the afternoon brightens up we may hit the Hanazono Park to try and improve on a few tricks.
