Yesterday was a snowy and windy day pretty much all day, and there's another 10-15cm or so coming out of it. Winds did their thing blowing it all round and so pockets of more and areas of less, but a good covering all round I think.

This morning there are blue skies above Yuzawa and the sun is out. It's about -3C with a high of +1C likely early afternoon.

The weekend visitors to Yuzawa will be most pleased today. With really great snow conditions and the fine weather, it should make for a great day on the mountain.

Tomorrow is likely going to be more cloudy but we don't have a whole lot of snow on the forecast for the next few days into next week and it might get milder.
