Another 15cm to 20cm has fallen at village level but the resorts are reporting up to 50cm higher up! It's still coming down heavily, with no end in sight. A lot of people don't like being out in conditions like today's, so the courses should be relatively quiet. Snorkels and fat boards at the ready!

While the ploughs have been out, caution is recommended on the roads around Hakuba. Some of them are very bumpy with compacted snow-cum-ice.
