Beautiful clear blue skies this morning across the region.

The day is starting off with very light snow falling and fog higher up. Quite thick and not easy to see.

A surprise covering overnight. Unsurprisingly, the Chuo and Paradise slopes have more with everywhere else having various degrees of crunch underneath.

Anyone here just needs to look out the window to see that a sunny day is ahead of us so lenses for a very bright day.

A small amount last night but together with yesterday's keeps the higher slopes softer.

Temperatures have taken a plunge and it is snowing albeit lightly. A bit more tonight but only a bit.

The sun is out albeit the 2nd ropeway to the summit is going into cloud. Cloud is drifting in and out but a lovely morning.

The sun is creeping slowly upwards, however, upper levels still have fog but able to see ahead of you except for some murkiness at Paradise, Utopia and upper Kurohime.

Fortunately, the rain yesterday was followed by snow so at least a covering (slightly more higher up).

A bit hard to read how today will turn out!

It is, and will be snowing a bit more meaningfully today although lightly (but with bigger flakes than yesterday's pin-pricks).

Those who persevered through the snow (and in some areas wind) yesterday are rewarded by a very good covering last night.

It started snowing late yesterday afternoon but only lightly so just slope maintenance really.

We've started off mostly sunny (where it left off yesterday) although there is a misty patch over the summit and extending down to Kurohime.
