Light snow falling in Minakami again today with grey skies overhead. It does look as if it might clear up a bit later but hard to tell. Low temperatures and fresh snow about as it snowed last night. No wind either, so all in all a fantastic day to be out on the slopes.

The forecast for the next week is predominantly for light snow with the occasional burst of sunshine, although Monday morning is supposed to be nothing but sun. Monday looks to be the pick of the days next week as after that the temperature is supposed to drop again and it is going to get pretty cold.
