I have 4cm of fresh snow to report to you this morning from my base here in Hirafu.

It's warmer this morning and noticeably so - the thermometer is showing just under +2C outside my place here as of 8am.

An excellent day for enjoying the snow conditions yesterday even though there were a few lift disruptions due to wind by mid-day.

How about this... the most snow in one day so far this season!

Morning from Niseko and it's a much improved picture this morning.

It is a better morning here in Niseko - a hearty welcome back to colder conditions and snow.

Wind affected things yesterday and were noisy overnight too.
