Good morning from Hakuba.


It's snowing as I write this and I have 5cm to report so far. I should have some potentially exciting numbers to report tomorrow morning.


Visibility is reduced out on the mountain, but there is fresh refill falling from the skies so if you're wrapped up with the right googles, you should be happy!
