It was cold through the day yesterday with the sun making some extended appearances, and while there was no new cm of snowfall it has kept good conditions due to the continued cold temps.

Light snow on and off during the day yesterday.

OK so the snow did ease off yesterday as expected.

Heavy snowfall has continued. But the weather conditions - strong winds, all that snow, and checking for safety - are causing some problems at resorts.

A very good morning from a very snowy Hakuba. This is how we like it!

Snow and more snow yesterday as it fell pretty much throughout the day, leaving us with about 25cm during the day on the mountain, according to Hakuba 47.

Nice light snow to report this morning. -5C and snowing.

It did cloud over yesterday and was snowing mid-afternoon.

Good news and not as good news. Which do you want first?

Lunchtime yesterday and it was raining in the village, with temperature rising to around +3C, though it was snowing as you got higher up.

Well I'm happy to report that we did get some new snow overnight on the mountains with the most being reported by Hakuba Goryu, Hakuba 47 and Happo-one.

The mountains remained shrouded in cloud for the day yesterday and it was snowing during nighta last night.

It's either an early or late report today as there's some work being done on the site, so early it is mainly because it's simple.

After a grey and cloudy day yesterday, it was snowing by nighta time and this morning we have a good new layer of snow to report.
