Lots of cloud and early morning snow and fog, but there are some signs of blue sky in places too.

As I updated yesterday, the Chuo area has remained open this morning, so it looks like the 'pre-open' was a 'proper open'! The official site is showing Utopia also open this morning.

The Chuo run will remain open tomorrow (Monday) and weekdays this week.

Today the Chuo lift will be opening from 9am through 3:30pm! You can get there via the Zao Chuo Ropeway.

There has been a heavy downfall of large fluffy flakes. Visibility is not great due to the fall. The roads have not been plowed yet.

A light covering of snow this morning down to base and hopefully a bit more up top.
