Good morning from Nagano.
Yes, I'm not actually in Hakuba this morning and so my report is being helped by some helping helpers.
The good news is that it seems the news this morning is (wet) snow rather than rain - and I'm not totally sure if my helpers are fully disclosing what happened yesterday afternoon but we can get past that! On to this morning and here is how much snow the ski resorts are reporting this morning:
Hakuba Happo-one: 10cm (top Gondola station)
Hakuba Goryu: up to 10cm on top areas
Hakuba 47: up to 5cm
Hakuba Cortina: 2-4cm
So it certainly could be worse given the forecast and warmer conditions yesterday. Today is set to be colder than yesterday with temperatures hopefully once again able to get down below zero.
And the forecast seems to be looking positive for snow for the next few days, so I'm feeling good about returning to Hakuba this evening.
This morning ski resorts appear to be opening on schedule though visibility is looking rather limited at the start of the day.
