There is enough snow. We have enough snow and the boards are skiable in the morning. We decided to extend the tour in the hope that people can enjoy it as long as possible.

The slopes were overcast on Wednesday the 27th, but inbound and outbound visitors from inside and outside of the prefecture enjoyed spring skiing and snowboarding.
