Great day on the mountain yesterday at Tenjin with pow all over the place and everything opening pretty early by their standards.

For those with an interest, Nishikurosawa, the backcountry run out, is nicely filled in though still quite bushy to get to it. Was only 5cm of fresh yesterday morning but this morning I have been dealing with 40cm of wind packed, light, dry snow.

Tenjin is currently under a wind lockdown and won't open on time. Today's photo was taken yesterday during a break in the weather.
