33cm new snow at 800m. Probably 50cm above 2000m. Lots of winds from the north and west last night with the chance of windslab sitting on ice.

Great powder skiing today, but remember: the temperatures will rise dramatically as you descend the bigger side county lines from Happo and Goryu. Cold and more stable at the top can fast become moist unstable snow on the bottom half of the run where temperatures will be above freezing.
