Snow has not fallen in the valley yet but nights are getting colder and sprinklings of white can be seen some mornings around the tops of Happo-one and Goryu/47 and feeling down into the valleys between; and the Alps are whiter by the day. If you hike high enough up there you’ll end up knee deep eventually. The town is in motion as people speed up Winter preps and everyone is looking forward to the first snowfall in the valley!
TEMPERATURE IN THE VALLEY: 7 degrees C.
