 | | Rusutsu | 6th January | Winter Consolidates Across the Northern Hemisphere Winter delivered a mixed but encouraging picture across the Northern Hemisphere this week. Japan surged ahead, while North America saw major Sierra dumps alongside an expanding Arctic freeze across the east. Europe remained the outlier — fresh snow boosted northern regions, but the Alps stayed largely dry, though colder air is now in place. | | Arctic Blast Brings Fresh Snow North. Alps On Standby Europe's winter story this week is one of contrasts. A strong Arctic blast has delivered significant fresh snow across Scandinavia, Scotland and northeastern Europe, boosting conditions where snow was needed most. Meanwhile, the Alps have stayed largely dry after early forecasts. That pattern is now poised to change, with wintry systems edging back into the north-western Alps later this week — cold air is in place, and fresh snow could finally arrive where slopes have been waiting. | | Read the full Europe Snow Roundup | | |  |  | | | | Powder Where It Counts — Rockies & Tahoe Lead This Week North America's snow story this week is all about contrasts: Pacific storms have dumped substantial snow in the Sierra, with Palisades Tahoe recording up to two feet, while bitter cold and deep freezes have settled across the Midwest and East. Some West Coast resorts battled rain-washed snowpacks before the big dumps returned, while the inland Rockies and Great Lakes saw fresh powder and expanding bases as Arctic air gripped the continent. Overall, it's a dynamic blend of heavy snow, cold snaps, and pockets still waiting for consistent winter — a classic early-season North American shuffle. | | Read the full Noth America Snow Roundup | | Japan Tops the Snow Charts Japan's winter pulse strengthened this week — Hokkaido's big resorts delivered significant snowfall, with Kiroro posting 90 cm in three days and Niseko over two feet of fresh powder, while cold, unsettled conditions kept flakes falling frequently across the north. On Honshu, ski areas like Nozawa Onsen are near full terrain open, and a mix of mild spells and cooling trends suggests more reliable snow at higher elevations ahead. From deep bases to mid-season surge potential, Japan is asserting itself as a powder play in early January. | | Read the full Japan Snow Roundup | | |  |  | | | Snow Alerts - Know Before You Go
