Well, new snow we have though perhaps not as much as we were thinking.... about 5cm of snowfall fallen since early this morning, but it is continuing to snowing now. Not crazy cold either, with the thermometer hanging around 0C at the moment, so hopefully it will drop later on and we can get a good amount of new snow during the day today and this evening.


I will surely let you know tomorrow!


Last day of the long weekend in Japan here, though not as many people out on the slopes this morning as there were yesterday.
