Good morning from Hakuba.
Ah, I'm glad to be back and also to see some decent snow on the ground this morning.
First of all back to yesterday. Visibility seemed to improve soon after my report was posted with bits of sunshine breaking through the clouds which lifted generally showing the lower slopes by mid morning. The day ended up cloudy once again. Bit of a wind at times. A few friends were out on the slopes and they were reporting less than exciting conditions, but this morning I am happy to be able to report a fresh reset.
This is how much fresh snowfall the resorts are reporting:
Hakuba Goryu: 40cm (top); 15cm (Toomi)
Hakuba 47: 25cm (top); 10cm (base)
Hakuba Happo: 20cm (top Gondola station)
Hakuba Cortina: 10cm
Interesting to see Cortina reporting less than the places to the south. I like the look of that 40cm that Goryu is reporting. Worth investigating, though from the other reports it looks like we can expect 20+cm out there. I am measuring 18cm.
It's colder too this morning so the snow should be much improved over yesterday. :)
Some lifts affected by windy conditions (and 'snow removal') this morning - at 8:30am it looks like top lifts at Goryu, Happo-one and Tsugaike are affected but hopefully they'll get spinning again soon.
