A few more cm indeed we got yesterday, though not an exciting amount to report. Snow clouds remain over the region and right now it is snowing lightly in areas, just cloudy in others, with a moderate wind as well which may well affect some of the higher lifts this morning.
It has been a very cold morning. When Yakebitaiyama posted it's report at 9am, the temperature was -14C. It's more like a -8C here im the Maruike area at the moment.
Still looking good for decent snowfall late weekend / early in the week.
Resort areas currently at least part open:
Sun Valley - 1 lift
Maruike - 1 lift
Mammoth - 2 lifts
Bundaira - 1 lift
Ichinose Family - 2 lifts
Ichinose Diamond - 2 lifts
Ichinose Kaminoyama - open
Yakebitaiyama - 2 lift
Okushiga Kogen - 3 lifts
