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.

More good news from Hakuba this morning, and I am indeed revved up.

I am happy to be bringing you news of fresh snowfall this Monday morning.

Snow falling in the afternoon and evening yesterday - and falling very nicely at times in the evening... everyone egging it on!

I am very happy to report that we are on a bit of a roll at the moment. I'll name it a 'relative roll' (because it's not like a full-on total dumpage kind of roll).

I am measuring 8cm both in my usual spot and over at the base of Hakuba 47 just before.

Yesterday wind was causing problems with some lifts but fine weather for the most part especially in the morning with more cloud appearing in the afternoon.
