I can add a bit more snow since yesterday morning and there are varying numbers being reported by the ski resorts.

4cm at base.

More good news this morning with additional fresh snow to report.

A new white coating of (bit heavy) snow down to village overnight with Hakuba 47 reporting up to 20cm of fresh in places.

Ah, fresh snow overnight! Don't you just love it.

Quite strong winds yesterday which seemed to affect some lifts around the valley, and limited visibility too, but it was great to check out that fresh snow.

Resorts are reporting 10-20cm of fresh snowfall on their upper areas and 5-10cm down at base.

Good morning from Hakuba on this national holiday (National Foundation Day).

More snow to report this morning with Happo, 47 and Goryu all reporting 20-25cm of fresh snow on their upper areas.

This morning Happo-one is reporting 20cm of fresh up on the Kurobishi area with 10cm on the lower Nakiyama courses

Good morning from Hakuba and good news with fresh snow on the ground.

I am pleased to see 15-20cm or so of snowfall being reported by a few resorts this morning. On the upper areas.

And on a day when we hear of snowfall in places where it doesn't usually fall, I am happy to also report some snow in a place where it most definitely should be falling.

I was up at Hakuba 47 yesterday morning. It was good to have snow falling up top but as lunchtime approached it has turned to more sleet-like and then rain; like down below at base.
