As expected, it's sunny from early on today and while it is cold early on it will be warming up today.

It is snowing early morning but the forecasts tell us that it should clear up and there is a good chance that there will be sunshine later on.

Yesterday visibility remained limited up top for lots of the time, better below and even some sun... with light snow. So mixed weather.

A good layer of fresh snow on the slopes this morning. The resort is reporting 15-21cm of snow overnight since yesterday afternoon.

It is colder and it is snowing. It's also a bit windy on the mountain though lifts appear to be unaffected.

It's Friday already, yikes. Swhooosh, there goes the season!

Another respectable amount of snowfall since yesterday.

Yesterday felt a bit strange, considering the forecasts and then what we got.

Glad we got yesterday out of the way! Rain, not good.

Just a little snowfall to report during the day yesterday, the resort itself saying there was 4-5cm on the upper Yamabiko and Uenotairs areas.

Just a little snowfall overnight with 10+cm being reported on the upper areas by the ski area.

We got some blue skies later in the day yesterday as that snow eased off.

Snow yesterday - along with a break in it during the afternoon - and more overnight.

A good old traditional 30cm or so of fresh snow here in Nozawa this morning.
