Some more snow this morning though not as much with the resorts reporting 10-15cm of fresh snow on upper areas.

Here we go 2021. We're all rooting for a good one.

This year might have been a rubbish one in many respects, but at least we should be thankful that are getting snow.

6cm of snow to report from base with ski areas reporting the following up to 30cm on the mountain.

Christmas greetings to you all.

There's some more (varying amounts of) snowfall to report this morning.

Smaller numbers being reported this morning as the snow clouds ease off and we get to see some blue sky above Hakuba.

A break in the clouds is ahead of us with the snow due to ease off today and sunshine due tomorrow.

It is a great morning.

6cm on the ground to report and we now have 5 ski areas open with Kashimayari and Hakuba Iwatake joining the party.

Lots of snowfall since my report yesterday and some varying numbers.

More snow to report - with around 10cm at base areas and 15cm higher up (though Tsugaike are reporting 38cm).

There has been a lot to check and I have been making some adjustments to the page this morning.

Hakuba Happo-one will be opening tomorrow morning.
