Woke up to snow falling lightly in the village this morning. Not sure what time it started but we got 10cm out if it up top and a few cm of snowfall down here in the village. Nice change after the rain we got hit with yesterday... not the best.

It is colder this morning, around 0C at the moment.

The sun is shooting through now at time so should shape up to a pretty reasonable day on the slopes. Yesterday the snow was decent up top but heavy going on the lower slopes and of course the rain did not help!

The New Year crowd is in town but not as bad as previous years. Was at the Gondola at 11am and only a really short line and was flowing well.

Temperatures should drop further tomorrow and snow clouds with us through this week.

Anyway, get your dancing shoes on for tonight and look forward to seeing you on the slopes at Nagasaka or by the temple to bring in the New Year in Nozawa.
