New Snow (Resort): 0cm
New Snow (Village): 0cm
Weather: overcast
Snow Depth: 230cm (Yamabiko)
Outlook: Scattered light snow at the top and light rain in the village over the next week.
Open Areas: Almost everything is open except Kurokura and Hachiman.
Yesterday evening saw light rain fall in the village and snow at the top of the mountain. Looking at the webcams shows the trees are coated in snow which suggests a few centimetres has fallen, despite the resort reporting no new snow. Visibility is poor from about 900m up.
The forecast for the next week calls for the current warm weather to continue, with light snow to the top part of the mountain and rain in the village. There is a base of over 2m on Yamabiko, however snow levels on the lower slopes are depleted. In terms of skiable area we are probably not going to lose anything over the next week, however if the current trend of warm weather continues the danger of losing Karasawa and the lower part of Skyline will arise in early March.
