Day 27 - Okushiga Kogen - This was January 4th. It was snowing hard when I arrived but not really blizzard conditions. The powder was starting to pile up and it was really great to have fresh snow but visibility was low and I had to get back for a meeting so I only skied 3 runs, 8.1 km. The downhill course opened as well so I got my first run of the season there, too.

Day 17 - Okushiga - Yesterday did my first day at Okushiga Kogen and it was beautiful and, surprisingly, not crowded for Christmas Day. No powder but the pistes were rocket 🚀 fast. I had to leave early though for a meeting so only skied 3 runs, 8.6 km.

Merry Christmas everyone.
