Moiwa Mountain base -6℃, 40cm new snow. Moiwa 800m: -7.8℃, NNW9.6m/s, cornice and snowdrift development. Mikaeri 750m: -9℃, NNW2.9m/s, snow depth increasing, good visibility. Annupuri 1100m: -9.9℃, NW6.6m/s, strong wind after 2am, cornice development, 40cm new snow. Hirafu Hanazono 1000m: -8.4℃,  NNE17.6m/s, NE25m/s from midnight till morning, snowdrift development. Coastal data: Benkei Cape NE14m/s, Kamui Cape NNE9m/s, 1008hPa, wave 3.6m. 

We are in a wintery pressure system. Strong NE wind from midnight, over 20m/s N wind on the Hirafu side, formed thick wind slabs rapidly in Kozan no sawa. Avalanche risk is extremely high in Kozan no sawa and Annupuri Osawa over 1000m elevation. A large amount of snow has fallen from the mountain base to the top of the mountain today. Snow is excellent in the tree run but very deep. Getting out of there might be hard if you get stuck. Gate 1, 2,3, and 4 will be closed. Other gates are yet to be decided. Please listen to the patrol's instructions. Never enter strictly off-limits areas such as Haruno taki. There is a very high risk of losing your life.
