Hello and good morning from Nozawa.
Ah yes, there has been a very nice delivery of snow since my report yesterday.
A good 30cm of fresh snow, and I noticed that the official snow depth up on Yamabiko is now closing in on 4m. All good!
Limited visibility this morning as the snow continues to fall so extra care needed but some very find conditions to enjoy.
The snow clouds should be with us into tomorrow as well but less snow expected and clearer skies likely beyond that into the week.
