Morning from Nozawa.
Fresh snow on the ground again with 5-10cm being reported by the resort and snow continuing to fall now though it's not expected to last the day... but also be back later on in the daytime tomorrow.
It's not particularly cold - though more so than yesterday which as expected ended up fairly mild.
There's a bit of wind about this morning too though not enough to cause lift operations any issues at the moment and hopefully it will stay that way.
Tomorrow morning there might be some sun and clearer skies before the snow clouds move back in.
