The award for the most new snowfall reported this morning goes to Hakuba Cortina, they are saying they got 50+cm.

Moderate at times snow falling this morning, and around 20cm of fresh to report.

This morning Cortina is reporting 40cm of fresh snow; 47/Goryu 10cm at base and 30cm up top; and Happo reporting up to 40cm at Usagidaira.

Yesterday the snow continued falling but the main thing I thought was... it was really cold! This morning is really cold too.

There's fresh snow to report this morning, though I can't hide my disappointment as I was expecting to be able to report more than 10cm.

Good morning from Hakuba and Happy Christmas.

There's more snow and it feel like it should be an excellent morning out there. It has eased off and there are signs that it might be getting clearer.

Some more snow to report this morning, though not big numbers.

Excellent news to report from Hakuba this morning with a really good layer of snow on the ground.

It's Monday morning so hello and welcome to a new week from here in Hakuba.

After those clearer skies yesterday morning this morning it's an altogether greyer start to the day.

Another 10-15cm or so of new snowfall is being reported from around the ski areas (in upper areas) this morning.

Bit of a dusting of (wet) snow down close to base areas.

Some fresh snow down the the village, but lots of blue sky as of 9am.
