Another day of deep, deep snow in Myoko Kogen – 30~80cm of new snow on top of the huge dump yesterday! Powder boards and fat skis were the order of the day and only the truly adventurous got very far off piste but with powder turns to be had every where, everyone was all frozen smiles!
BELOW: Posing in front of ridiculous snow banks and car pillows is just a part of life in Myoko….
Unbelievably the forecast is for MORE heavy snow tonight, before a weekend of light snow and snow showers followed by MORE heavy snow Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! This really is one hell of a cold front passing over Japan right now, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be……
ABOVE: This much snow built up while we were eating lunch…..
