Unfortunately it had some warm temperatures in Nagano area, and it had a rain end of January. The snow condition got a like spring season. But thanks to heavy snow fall in last weekend, the snow condition in Nagano area ski resorts got better. I enjoyed skiing Kurohime, Sakae, and Nomugi-touge ski resorts.
It got a cold, and was –twenty degrees in the morning in Nomugi-touge ski resorts. But it was fine day and the view from top of the ski resort was amazing. You colud see the Mt.Norikura.
