There were some very, very cold temperatures being reported yesterday - throughout Japan, it seems, but particularly up here in Hokkaido.

I have 14cm of fresh snowfall to report to you this morning.

A decent amount of snowfall overnight and I have measured 17cm of it to report to you this morning here at base.

Yesterday we enjoyed some very nice snow conditions (well, I certainly did!) though some upper lifts were affected by wind and put on hold.

Good news this morning with a decent amount of fresh snowfall on the ground. I have measured 15cm of it and it is light, dry and fluffy.... lovely.

Well, that decent snow coming down yesterday morning that I mentioned didn't really last long and it didn't amount to much.

Some sunshine in the day yesterday and it has started snowing again this morning and I can add 2cm to the report so far.

Good morning on this last one of January 2020, and it is another windy one.

I have ever so slightly over 9cm of fresh snow to report again this morning. I was actually over close to Niseko Village earlier and noticed it was more like 5cm over there.

Good morning, and a Happy New Year to our friends here celebrating the Chinese New Year. And of course those reading from afar.

It was indeed a beautiful morning yesterday. I was out there for a few hours and shared some lifts with people enjoying themselves.

It's an absolute beauty of an early morning.

Yesterday was a good one! Definitely one of the best days of the season so far for me and no doubt for many others too.

33cm of snowfall to add to my report this morning as of 8:30am.
