Still Waiting for Snow

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.
