All is calm, all is clear and all is beautiful this morning in Myoko.

A lot of snow is falling today; not always particularly heavy (at least by Myoko standards) but it's falling all the time.

It's a mixed day in Myoko--the sun keeps poking out between patches of light snow. Can't decide what it wants to do.

After a pretty nice day of light, ongoing snow, things really got turned on towards the end of yesterday, with big, light flakes falling heavily through the night and into this morning.

The sun is out today. Now, I've made my preference for pounding snow (soft underfoot, keeps out the riffraff), but the mountains were really beautiful in all their white glory this morning.

I had to get out this morning to see the real snow conditions--because it was snowing good and hard--at Seki Onsen. An interesting place, and lots of fairly chewy, heavy powder.

The snow is back today; about 10 cm so far, and it looks steady if not particularly Myoko-heavy yet. Good timing, too; we needed a reset on powder!

I come to you, humbly, apologetically.... OK, I missed yesterday's report--too many people to take care of, too much on his poor mind (oh, the life of a writer/skier).

Snow, snow, snow! We are definitely back to Myoko-style snowfalls. I measured 73cm on the trusty study plot boards this morning (trying to be more scientific, you know).

Ah, those dark clouds on the horizon yesterday did their job--we have some Myoko-style snow falling right now.

A sunny morning but dark clouds over Myoko; slightly warmer weather and the barometer a bit down... could this mean some snow is on the way? We believe so and hope so!

No new snow overnight; it's nice and cold; it's also sunny, at least for the moment, but snow does look likely for today.

A beautiful, sunny day today. A little bit of snow fell overnight, probably a little less than 10cm of light stuff.

The snow is again falling; nothing too heavy, it seems, but a nice, ongoing fall of beautiful flakes. yes, I'm feeling poetic on this last day before most of Japanese have to head back to the daily grind.
