Not the best of weather this morning with rain falling on the mountain though it's kind of sleety-almost-snow up top. A few more lifts open for the weekend - Uenotaira Four and Paradise Four lifts join the others though the terrain is as before, and that's a large chunk of the resort as well. Visibility is fairly low higher up on the Yamabiko runs but better lower down, though it's a generally moody-looking, cloudy morning.

The rain should finish by tonight and leave us for a sunny day tomorrow along with warmer temperatures. Should be a really nice day to get out there tomorrow.

Current Official Snow Depths Numbers:

Yamabiko:
330cm

Uenotaira:
290cm

Higake:
130cm

* Readings by the resort from lower slopes now seem to have finished - though there's still plenty.
