Those official numbers don't seem to have budged, but there has been a lot of new snow over the last two days. But we're not complaining, just get out there and ski or board on it.
This morning it's cold and earlier was clearer but has clouded over since.
The cold should continue but we seem to be headed into a drier spell with no more snow forecast until we close in on the weekend. Expect sunnier skies over the next few days.
Official snow depths:
Utopia: 270cm
Chuo: 220cm
Paradise: 240cm
Uwanodai: 165cm
