A ski area in Japan is posting a 7 metre plus snow depth after more heavy snowfall in the country this week.
Tengendai Kogen Ski Area in Yonezawa City in the Yamagata prefecture is currently posting a 710cm base on its upper slopes, following more than 50cm of snowfall over the past few days and more than three metres (10 feet) in February so far.
It's one of five Japanese ski areas posing more than six metres (20 feet) of snow lying, with Hakuba Valley's Happo One (pictured above today) in second-place on 6.5 metres.
It's the first time for several years that any ski area in the world has posted more than a six-metre base. Japanese ski areas are also posting around double the deepest snow reported anywhere in Europe or North America.
More heavy snowfall is forecast in Japan over the coming week.
