5 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. I can hardly see half of Mt. Yotei this morning, it might be foggy upper mountain. I walked up to the peak from gate 3 yesterday. Surprisingly the snow was in great condition!! I’ll be a bit too windy and foggy today, tomorrow might be another good day for hiking:)
Cold weather continue for this weekend. Enjoy the last powder before it gets warmed up next week!
