We did get some blue sky yesterday morning but it was limited and it remained largely cloudy.

It looks like upper lifts (at least) will have problems today due to windy conditions.

Unfortunately there is a lot of lift disruption this morning due to pesky winds. As of nearly 10am, three lifts at Hanazono are moving, but otherwise it is lower lifts only.

A mix of cloud and blue sky at the start of operations today and it feels chilly outside.

Some cloud this morning and quite a lot of blue sky.

We did get snow falling yesterday in town - at times very light, at times somewhat heavier.

The ski area this morning reporting another 10cm of fresh snow on the mountain and the trees up there looking nice and loaded.

This morning the ski area reports just under 10cm of fresh and I have about 4cm from base.

As soon as I got yesterday’s report out the snow started falling harder and the wind came up.

It's a cloudy start to the day but they might part with some forecasts telling us to expect some sun.
