Early morning Yakebitaiyama was reporting 10cm, but by now there will be more than that. More lifts open now, though looking at the official information on the website gives me a headache.

Sun Valley and Maruike are now open, but there are some parts not yet open between there and Higashidateyama. And Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama is almost all open. With more snow due through tomorrow, I would expect the remaining placed to be open by Saturday. But that is me guessing.
