Lots of cloud around this morning with just 1cm of snow to report. And blue skies opening up now too.

Gorgeous blue skies, sun being very sunny... what a fantastic morning it is, weather wise at least.

A good morning from Madarao and I can't say I was expecting 30cm, but that's what we got... resort reporting over that up there.

As I write this report the sun is shining down on lots of the resort, but there's also quite a bit of cloud around the summit.

Sorry, I'm in Tokyo this morning but still here to post a report coming to you courtesy of a phone call with a friend who is up there and reporting to me.

And.... another 30cm delivery of fine fresh snow this morning in Madarao since yesterday.

Tons of fresh snow to play in this morning!

Well, not as much as I would have hoped to report this morning with just 5cm but the heavier snow is still due today and tomorrow.

Up to 10cm of fresh overnight and into this morning here in Madarao and while there's still a lot of cloud around it's not snowing just now.

The resort is reporting 15-20cm of fresh this morning and I can vouch for that on this very cold morning with a bit of a wind as well.

A few cm of snow overnight but the main thing today is those clear blue skies above Madarao. Stunning!

Fresh snow! Resort reporting 20cm of snow on the mountain this morning and nearly that down at base areas too.

It is another cold morning with a few more cm of snow on the ground again.

10cm of snow overnight at Madarao, and generally cloudy conditions to start this Monday morning.
