Greetings from Hakuba.
Fine weather yesterday with a bank of cloud gradually getting bigger as the afternoon progressed.
It was a bit windy but I'm guessing we're all more than gnarly enough to deal with that.
This morning it is snowing and I have 6cm so far to report. Coming down nicely right now too with limited visibility on the mountain. Lifts seem to be opening as planned.
Get wrapped up for today... more sun forecast for tomorrow.
Good new snowfall forecast for the start of the weekend too.
