It was a mainly fine end to last week for the Japanese mountains, one of the longest spells of clear weather for a while. It never lasts too long at this time of year, however. The snow returned again late in the weekend, but it continued through the week bringing lots of new snow.

Not much powder has fallen since, except 10cm at Zao Onsen yesterday. But a two-or-three day dump has started today and so its on for this weekend bringing big falls for Western Japan and Hokkaido, clearing late on Monday.

FRANCE
It was a snowy end to last week in France. That was followed by a fine weekend, and mainly glorious sunshine and clear skies all through the week. A good way to follow up a dump!
Snow is due to arrive across the French Alps (North and South) on the weekend, with some heavy falls possible. Snow could continue through to Tuesday, setting up the slopes well for the busy holiday period.

ITALY
Snowfalls at the end of last week have made a great difference to the slopes in the Italian Alps. February is looking very promising for great skiing.
It was a beautiful clear weekend in the mountains and the mainly fine weather continued through the week.
Snow is forecast to start this weekend, heaviest on Sunday and Tuesday. There could be some massive dumps at Madesimo and Madonna di Campiglio, with the Dolomites also doing very well over the next four or five days. Maybe up to a metre will fall?
Great news for the eastern parts of the Italian Alps which haven't had quite as much snow as those in the west, to date.
Monte Rosa (Gressoney-la-Trinite): 230/80cm
Madesimo: 430/230/170cm
Madonna di Campiglio: 170cm@2250m, 60cm@1500m
Val Gardena: 110cm@2500m, 20cm@1400m
