We're starting to get used to these warmer sunny days in Nozawa. Went up to the kid's park today for a play and there were kids everywhere having a ball.

Preparations were under way for tonights Festival and it was looking good. There was also a lot of action over on the Kandaha racecourse with a big downhill race meet starting tomorrow. So quite a buzz around the village. Crowds not as big as past weekends but with 6000 guests recorded not too bad.

On the mountain was pretty foggy up high early but has blown off a bit now. Snow was a bit soft in places but the groomers were pretty nice.

Looking ahead it is a bit of a mixed bag with winds also all over the place. Tomorrow should be a fairly clear day. Rain down in town highly likely Monday and Tuesday, borderline what will be falling up top when that is happening. Hope by the end of the week we should see some cooler temps and a bit of snow on the radar. Anyway will be a fun weekend in town so get into the celebrations, stay safe and have a great time.
