A sunny day with not much cloud to accompany the unexpected amount of snow last night so smiles all around.

This morning started off with cloud and fog but is now sunny which is a surprise. Only the summit has a cap of cloud which may drift off.

A significant dump last night albeit with the slight rise in temperature, a bit heavy.

A fine start to the morning with the dawn sun lighting up the ridges except for a cap above the summit.

The fog is on the upper parts, however, mostly clear to see where you're going mid-distance.

It looks like another bonus day is to hand with sun coming out over the tops and the ridge line clear of cloud and fog.

It's supposed to be foggy and snowing, however, blue patches have reached the top of Uwanodai/Chuo and appears to be moving across the whole mountain.

More fresh snow last night and the slopes are nice.

More snow again last night. There should be a bit more coming later in the day.

A bit more snow than anticipated last night so everyone is busy clearing it.

It really blew last night along with a good new covering refreshing all tracks.

A better morning than anticipated. It is clear all round although cloud is now drifting on and off the summit.

The powder has gone (not surprising being the weekend) and been replaced with pisted runs with many slopes still hard underneath since it was quite mild during the day yesterday.

There'll be a lot of rejoicing across, I would imagine, all the snow resorts after last night's fall (and squalls).
