My work isn’t done yet; the season is over at most resorts, but skiing continues! And there’s even snow on the forecast for the coming week (the weird weather continues).

Bit of a hazy start to the day, but it is a blue sky up there under the gray layer. It’s not kosa, the Gobi sands that are heading this way from the west. Maybe it’s the clouds of green pollen coming off the sugi trees…. Should be warm today, though, and rainy on and off later in the week.

I’m going snowshoeing, and Lotte Arai has not yet listed the lifts that are running today. Sorry about that, and please check their website.
