let it snow

Up and down for breakfast by 7am. Bright, sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. On the gondola by 9am and the day was sunny and warm, even at the top. Trails were groomed nicely, and perfect to get back into the boarding groove. Off-pist/in trees was all tracked up snow, but soft and doable. Fine weather and a good relaxing day of downhill fun.
Lunch on the balcony of the restaurant at gondola-top, more fine weather, and finally clouds starting to roll in.
Early break and into the onsen for some deep-soaking, sauna, and bathing. All-you-can-eat sukiyaki dinner; piles of meat and veggies cooked up nicely on the table. Stuffed full, the weather gets ugly: rain. Hard, nasty rain. Many give up on tomorrow and pound the bar in the hotel next door. By 10pm the rain is now snow, and hopes lift. What will tomorrow bring?
