There was lots of blue sky and sunshine yesterday, but this morning lots of cloud around --- and up to 20cm of snow being reported from the ski resorts

It's very good to see lots of white this morning.

Here is what the ski resorts are putting out there this morning...

A light covering of snow down in the village this morning.

A very good one it is - the first day of the ski season, in fact!

Excellent news this afternoon - some ski lifts will be moving from tomorrow morning.

It's not crazy cold, but snow is falling and there is a few cm on the ground in base areas and hopefully there will be much more to come over the next few days.

That first layer of snow down to the village is always a lovely sight.

Some very light snow lazily falling down to near base areas at times yesterday and this morning snow can seen down close to lower areas, not quite down to the village.

Good morning from Hakuba and welcome back.
