We have had more snow since yesterday. Not a huge amount, with the ski are reporting 15cm this morning (and 1cm yesterday lunchtime).

Snow! The ski area is this morning reporting 30cm of snowfall up on the open Yamabiko area, and I have just measured 17cm.

Good morning from Nozawa on this first day of the ski season.

We are still on course for a ski area opening tomorrow morning with the Yamabiko D scheduled to be available.

Good morning. And, good news! We have some early morning snow down to base and the village.

It's a lovely autumn morning. The sun is out and it is nice and cool.
