Morning and it's back to snow. Around 5cm of snow to report and light snow falling still at 10am. Doesn't feel as cold this morning and in Maruike it's -7C, though Yakebitayama are reporting a very cold -15C over in that area. Just shows how much it can vary over the area.


Cloud cover but for the most part visibility is decent around the resorts. Local forecast says light snow for the day and clearing up by this evening. To be followed by clear conditions tomorrow morning and likely blue skies and sun. And then back to snow just before the weekend.


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
