Good morning from Hakuba.


It's snowing really nicely as I put this report together.


And a good amount of fresh snow is being reported... basically up to 30-40cm in upper areas across the ski areas.


By 9:00am I have just measured just under 20cm. Even though we have sun due tomorrow, there will be more snow to report tomorrow morning as it is expected to continue falling until tonight.


Excellent. Should be lovely snow conditions this morning.


Visibility is limited this morning. Take care out there.
