It’s colder than last few days this morning. I went to Chisenupuri for back country touring. Sky was cleared up after 10 am. After 2 hours hiking, I had one long great run! Snow was nicely slashy and fast, it was a perfect spring condition.
I might go to Hanazono later as I guess snow might be a bit icy at early morning. And I might go shopping in Hifafu village. Now many shops are having spring sales. We can get winter items from 30 – 50 % off! I hope I can get hiking gloves at good price:)
It will be warmer and sunny again tomorrow. Have a great day!
