Good morning from Hakuba.
Lots of fresh snow, yes! First of all, the snowfall that ski areas are reporting this morning. Drum roll, please:
Hakuba Happo-one: 50cm (Riesen), 35cm (Usagidaira), 20cm (Nakiyama)
Hakuba Goryu: 40cm
Hakuba Cortina: 40cm (top), 35cm (base)
Hakuba 47: 30cm (top), 20cm (base)
Nice numbers there. 40-50cm on mountain. And there's a good 20+cm around base areas too.
I just love it when I can report good snowfall.
The current (windy) conditions though mean that some lifts are affected. The top lifts are Happo-one aren't open at the start of the day and there is some disruption at Goryu/47 too. There may be more.
I don't want to spoil the feel-good of this report, but the coming days needs to be mentioned. Tomorrow should be sunny and not too warm - and so an excellent day after all this snow. Beyond that it will be warming up to Saturday when we will probably get rained on as well as being warm. There's snow due again on Sunday though, so the pain shouldn't be too prolonged!
