Day 2 - Takamagahara - Gorgeous day and nice conditions, but only the bottom half was open so I had to do more runs to ski the same distance as yesterday. I skied 11 runs, 8km.

Day 3 - Yokoteyama - Bluebird skies and a lots of fresh artificial and natural snow. I skied 11 runs, but only 6 km today since a university ski team was practicing and it got a bit busy. Myoko and the Sea of Japan are visible off in the distance.

Day 4 - Yakebitai - Cloudy at first but got nicer towards the end of my workout, and the piste was terrific. Skied 11 runs, 11.5km, and fastest max speed so far this season at 82.1 km/h.

Day 5 - Kumanoyu - Cloudy and wet conditions but the piste was surprisingly speedy this morning. Skied 7 runs, 5.5km… Wanted to ski more but 4 bus loads of middle schoolers took over the resort so I left early.

Day 6 - Kumanoyu - it was cold and snowed a bit last night. The lift opening was delayed a bit so I only had a short day. Skied 4 runs, 4.4km and it was nice that the top of the resort was opened up.

Day 7 - Yakebitai - Bluebird skies and perfect pistes this morning, and not at all crowded. Skied 9 runs, 9.4km. Can’t wait till the heavy snows hit next week and the whole resort opens up ⛷️🥰
