Not much snow overnight here but nice light snow is falling heavily now giving us poor visibility on the slopes this New Year morning.

A dusting of new snow is about all we had this morning but it was snowing early on but... it's actually quite nice now, here in Maruike anyway.

It's still snowing. Early on this morning it's rather dark looking clouds and snow coming down quite heavily here in the Maruike area of Shiga Kogen.

Snow continues to fall over Shiga Kogen and another 10-15cm on the slopes.

Fine weather conditions yesterday made for somewhat crusty snow conditions in places on the slopes, and this morning there's about 5-10cm of fresh on top of that.

Quite a strong northerly wind in areas this morning blowing around the snow that is continuing to fall.

Strong winds during the day yesterday affecting some lifts.

More snow overnight and it's calmer this morning.

Loads of snow at the moment as this winter storm continues to deliver.

It's snowing heavily in Shiga Kogen this morning as we expected.

10cm or so of new snowfall overnight and it is still falling. A quite strong wind blowing around as well just now.

Decent amount of snow since yesterday with most of the resorts adding about 15-20cm to their snow depths, but there has been more than that.

Decent visibility here in the Maruike area of Shiga Kogen this morning but small snowflakes are coming down quite quickly.

A snowy day yesterday left us with about 10cm of fresh on the ground, but this morning we're back to sunny skies.
