Three days of skiing so far, each better than the last as we regain our ski legs. The snow is brilliant, a firm base with a powder coating. The slopes are relatively uncrowded, and lift queues non-existent until today, as people have flooded in for the fire festival (more on that later). We have stuck to the easiest runs so far, but are determined to try some more challenging ones tomorrow.
The weather has alternated between sun and snow, both lovely, with no wind. It's cold - we bought face warmers (basically a tube scarf which can be pulled over the lower face) which helped.
Nozawa Onsen's fire festival is on tonight, after much preparation and anticipation. Full report, with photos, to come.
