Good morning to you all from here in Hakuba.
Fabulous day on the slopes yesterday with that good layer of fresh snow to play in, and I am hearing some excited reports from people going backcountry... talk of up to 60cm out there.
Very nice!
This morning just a bit more snow being reported from mostly upper resort areas, just a bit outside here.
Still conditions should remain very nice for the start of the weekend and while there is still quite a bit of cloud around there's an increasing amount of blue sky and the sun is out. Less cloud as the morning goes on I reckon and it is going to be a fine day and importantly not like it is going to warm up too much.
More fine sunny weather is on the forecast for tomorrow though it will be getting a bit warmer.
Just check out the forecast too... some good potential around mid-week.
Have a fun Saturday wherever you may be.
