Posted on Saturday 10th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
It is a beautiful start to the weekend with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. It is a very fine day to be out skiing or snowboarding.
And this morning, there are three choices... available from two base areas.
Let me explain. Hakuba 47 is officially open this morning, but the open part is high up. You need to get there via Hakuba Goryu because the base area of Hakuba 47 is not yet open. And, after their cunning 'pre-open' yesterday afternoon, Happo-one is open again this morning. (Today is the 'grand open').
I hope that's not too confusing!
No word yet on an open date from Tsugaike Kogen.
I hope that by the time of my report tomorrow, I will have some fresh snow to report to you.
In the meantime, I hope you have a good Saturday.
