New snowfall 2cm

Season total 17cm

Zao Now current weather condition

Base temp: -1°C


OK, so I have another (just under) 2cm to report this morning as of 7:30am.


As I write this, it looks to be falling quite steadily over at Hanazono (similar to Hirafu), and less so at Annupuri, where there are actually a few small patches of blue sky. If forecasts are correct, I'll be checking back in again tomorrow morning with news of some more cm.


Clearer skies and those warmer temps are due to kick in from Wednesday. Not too warm please!


When it's 'just under' or 'just over', I do round up or down to the nearest number. But in my mind, I keep a note of these things and use my executive decision-making powers to keep things in check.



Planned opening dates (subject to change):
