It's snowing nicely as I write this and we expect incoming snow today and tomorrow.

Morning from Yuzawa on this first day of February. Time is whizzing by.

Light snow falling this morning and 10-15cm of fresh snow at base again.

This morning we have a lot of cloud around and while it is snowing in places, it's also quite bright.

Just a little snow to report this morning.

Personally, I hope Feb has more snow than Jan. Keep your fingers crossed.

Snow was on and off yesterday with a few quick spells of clearer skies... changeable conditions.

A somewhat early report today, as I have decided to go up the hill and check on the natural Myoko mountain snow conditions firsthand...

Early morning limited visibility up at Yamabiko, but much better lower down the mountain.

Windy yesterday but lifts remained open and a bit of snow overnight with light snow early on.
