Good morning from... er, Tokyo! Sorry, I'm in Tokyo this morning but still here to post a report coming to you courtesy of a phone call with a friend who is up there and reporting to me.


And from the sounds of it, the snow has stopped, things have calmed down and the sun is out over the mountain. The webcam definitely confirms that, looks like it's mostly blue skies at Madarao and this Monday morning conditions should be great after the snow of the weekend.


No snow reported by the resort overnight but about 10cm to note since the report yesterday morning apparently.


More clearer skies tomorrow to be followed by a return to snow clouds as we get into early Wednesday. Topups set to continue.
