I don't have much to report to you this morning really.
It's mainly cloudy at the moment and no new snowfall being reported though just a bit since my morning report yesterday.
Might the skies clear today? Or tomorrow... forecasts seem to disagree on that so we'll just have to see what nature brings us. There's not a whole lot of fresh snow on the weekly forecast at the moment, we just hope it remains cold to keep the snow conditions.
All lifts apart from the following appear to be operating today:
Diamond Number 1 pair
Paradise Number 3 pair
Karamatsu pair
Yokokura Number 2 pair
All courses are open
Official snow depths (as published by the resort itself):
Summit - 100cm
Paradise - 170cm
Chuo - 170cm
Utopia - 140cm
Uwanodai - 100cm
Yokokura - 125cm
