It's the last day of January and for this report I have 11cm of snow to report since yesterday morning.

As of 8:30am, there's have 24cm of new snowfall to report from base and it's still coming down.

Enjoyed a few hours out there yesterday in that fun mix of weather conditions we had.

It's good news this morning too as we venture back into double digits of new snow since the previous day.

This morning the sun is shining through my window just now. There's an increasing amount of blue sky above Hirafu.

We have light snow falling this morning and I have 4cm to report to you since. It's relatively mild this morning.

Just a dusting of snow to report to you this morning from base. I just about feel comfortable posting 1cm for this report.

It's Monday morning, and varied conditions to report. Just 3cm of snowfall to report to you today from base, with likely more to find out there on the mountain.

We enjoyed some fine weather yesterday (well, the clearer kind of 'fine') and this morning it looks like we might have another day of clearer skies.

It is a beautiful morning here. Lovely (borrowing the word from my Hakuba reporter friend) blue skies and bright sunshine.

We're back with some fresh snow early this morning. Not a huge amount - I have 5cm to report.

Hey, what's this? More blue sky this morning! It is a beautiful morning.

It is a very cold morning and an absolute beauty! Blue skies, some wispy sort-of clouds and sunshine.

I have 12cm of new snowfall to report to you on this Monday morning. It's feeling relatively mild this morning and right now it's just -1C outside my place.
