Good morning from Hakuba.
The clouds that we had early morning yesterday cleared up leaving us with blue skies all around. A lovely spring day. I have a really great few hours over in the top area of Hakuba 47/Goryu. Kimochi-ii!
This morning it's fine again though a bit paler blue tones - early on anyway. A fine and mild day is expected.
The big news I suppose is that the Hakuba Cortina resort has now closed for the season. Otsukaresama deshita. Please enjoy a rest, hard-working staff. For the record, their original plan was to be open until 5th April. It is going to be interesting to see how long the season will continue at the remaining resorts...
The other big news, I suppose, is the forecast that is still looking really promising for snow starting from sometime tomorrow through around Tuesday.
Cautiously optimistic.
There's even some 'heavy snow' mentioned on the forecasts for Monday and Tuesday. Honto ni?! Onegai shimasu.
