Good morning from Nozawa.

A little thin cloud around but it is once again going to be generally clear and sunny skies, and another warm day.

There are a few patches of ground showing up in some places lower down, but we are still generally enjoying excellent snow cover on the courses of the resort. It is of course melting pretty quickly though with the warm conditions. I am guessing we will fairly soon see much more ground appearing on the lower areas. The resort is still reporting a full 2.5m of snow on the upper slopes though so a lot of snow left.

More of the same forecast for tomorrow.
