It was raining last night and into early this morning though it has stopped for the moment - hopefully not but it might be back with clearing skies due tomorrow morning with perhaps some sunshine to warm us up.

There doesn't seem to be any sign of snow unfortunately... not that I think anyway has really been expecting...

The official site currently shows that the Hikage Number 2 pair lift is also moving today, can't confirm that with a sighting myself though personally I would recommend anyone coming to hear up to the higher slopes.
