The good news is that we have fresh snow. Ski areas are reporting 30-50cm (Goryu winning the biggest number prize) across the mountains. Nice.

It's a kind of relatively mild feeling to the morning and most ski areas reporting up to 5cm of snow.

After all that snow yesterday, there's a modest amount to add to it (though Cortina are sticking their heads out with a 30-40cm report!)

Excellent morning to you from Hakuba.

It didn't take too long for the skies to start clouding over yesterday after that beautiful start and it was a much greyer feel by the afternoon.

2022 starts with snow still falling.
