The snow that was falling in the morning stopped by noon, and it cleared up significantly. The day was terrific at the slopes with fresh powder and good visiability.
It is cloudy at the moment and a bit warmer than it was yesterday. We expect it to start snowing shortly. The snow should continue over the night into tomorrow, and the temperature will stay low.
There's another ski contest today and tomorrow, which will put some restrictions on Elite and Dynamic courses.

The sunny morning yesterday changed into a cloudy afternoon, and it started snowing. It snowed quite heavily but not for a long while and then it stopped, which was very disappointing as it looked like the weather forecast predicting a lot of snow was wrong. But! It started snowing heavily all of a sudden again in the evening and continuted overnight, and we got up to 15-20cm of fresh powder this morning.
It keeps snowing at the moment but lightly, we are even able to see some sun glimpses now and then. Some more snow and low temperatures are expected throughout today and tomorrow.

It was very cold throughout the day yesterday. The temperature wasn't actually particularly that low but it felt like it was below 20C negative even in the village. There was just minor snow dusting in the evening but nothing significant.
This morning was a bit warmer with excellent views, and the sun was shining. It got cloudy about an hour ago, and it has just started snowing lightly. The snow is expected to get heavier later in the day into tomorrow.

The day was sunny and cold yesterday. Only a few people out on the slopes, magnificent views and good snow made it a perfect day. It got cloudy in the evening, and it started snowing. We didn't have much snow at the village level but it looks like there's more than 10cm up the top.
Today's morning is cloudy and cold. The temperature will stay low during the day, and there may be some snow closer to the evening.
The forecast for tomorrow looks mixed again, the amount of snow differs over the different forecasts out there. But let's hope it'll be a very snowy day!

It was a bit warmer yesterday compared to the previous run of days. It started snowing in the morning, and snow kept falling the whole day, changing from light to quite heavy and vice versa. But I can't say we got a huge amount all in all at the end of the day.
Today is a bright sunny day with excellent visability - a great day for photos! And with only few people on the slopes as well.
Some lifts on Isola may be closed for maintenace so check the information inside the Resort before heading up the hill.
A significant amount of snow and low temperatures are expected tomorrow.

The weather stayed very cold throughout the day yesterday. There was some snow dusting but nothing really significant in terms of new snowfall.
This morning is slightly warmer. The sky is covered with thick clouds, and it is snowing on and off. The forecast for the next several days looks very mixed. Some forecasts are promising a significant amount of snow, some not much snow today and clear weather tomorrow. Take your pick!
It's the last day of a ski contest today at Rusutsu meaning that some of the courses on West Mt will be opened only for participants.
