Uenotaira pulled through later in the morning yesterday - they must have been moving tons of snow as they ended up reporting 50cm of fresh snow with the snow depth up there jumping up to 235cm.

I am very happy to be able to report lots of fresh snow down here in the village area and just hearing the numbers from the resort.

I'm happy to report that after another mild day, temperatures have been dropping since late last night.

Happily, it turned into snow soon enough and we were left with a few new cm by the end of the day.

Early report today, and it's going to be a clear and sunny one just like the forecast said.

After all that talk of numbers yesterday, get a load of this.

After a few cm of snowfall yesterday, overnight we have 10cm at base, lower runs, and Yamabiko while 20cm of fresh is being reported by the resort on Uenotaira.

Yes, yesterday was a very fine day after that very decent amount of snowfall.

A good old heavy dump of Nozawa snow is always wonderful to witness and the last 48 hours or so has really delivered.

Ah yes, it is a good morning. Lots of snowfall to report this morning.

Good morning from Nozawa and welcome to the weekend.

White out conditions on the top slopes this morning, but more importantly it's snowing.

It's a cloudy morning in Nozawa Onsen.

Nozawa is reporting 10cm of fresh across the mountain this morning, and there's about that down at base.
