The temperatures were cold and the visibility wasn’t great, but the on piste conditions were fantastic. The snow stopped in the late evening and temperatures stayed cold both up top and in the village so the snow is still nice and soft. Today’s looking like it’ll be a beautiful morning with some clouds forming in the late afternoon. Snow should start falling soon after and temperatures will fall once […]

Base at top: 50 cm Temp at Top; -2 Degrees Base at Uenotaira 45 cm New Snow since close: 5 cm Weather; Sun creeping through the clouds The cool and cloudy conditions of yesterday kept the snow steadily falling at higher altitudes.

We received another 5cm up top yesterday so get out on those groomers for a bit of fresh snow! Down in the village there was some rain which has unfortunately washed away most of the surrounding snow. Snow should start falling on Christmas Eve though so we’re hoping to wake up to a white Christmas! The snow will continue falling […]
