Morning from Nozawa.
I'm down with a bad cold at the moment so I wasn't able to get out yesterday and enjoy the fresh snow but friends who came back seemed to have had a good time up there. There was more snow during the day yesterday and overnight with the resort reporting 3-5cm this morning (they also I believe had 10cm during the day on the upper slopes which isn't included).
So it should be a decent morning again - perhaps adjusted to 'this season standards'. Cold too this morning with the resort saying it was -10C up on Yamabiko as of 8am.
Light snow falling early on due to ease off during this morning. We might even get to see the sun this afternoon.
There is regular snow on the weekly forecast which is promising. It might get slightly warmer around Sunday with the chance of some rain at base, but should be cold enough even then to be snowing higher up.

Yamabiko: 160cm
