Good morning from Hakuba.
There has been a lot to check and I have been making some adjustments to the page this morning. Those adjustments will be ongoing as the season gets going.
OK so what do I have for you...
Hakuba Happo-one and Hakuba Goryu are part open from this morning:
Three lifts are moving at Hakuba Happo-one this morning and the Panorama course is now open.
The top area of Hakuba Goryu is also open from this morning.
And of course Tsugaike Kogen remains part open.
At all three of those ski areas you need to take the gondola lift up to the area that is open.
The forecast remains snowy. It looks like we are going to be enjoying a good start to the season.
