Although the ski resort is open we are yet to see decent snow in the village this year. As of today the road to Ichinose Meadow which on a typical year is only accessible by foot after mid-November was clear and dry.
The village just doesn’t look like it should for December 19th. But we did have a similar start to the winter season 4 years ago – see post below.
The photos below were taken at Norikura BASE and Ichinose Meadow this morning. We are expecting some snow in the week – I am still hoping for a white Christmas.
