Hello from Hakuba at the start of another weekend.
It's a beauty. After all the snowfall and wind, a Saturday morning like this will be making a lot of people happy (visitors and operators alike!). Some thin cloud around but the sun is out and there is a lot of blue sky. There's not much of a wind and it's good and cold. All set for a fine Saturday morning.
Great. I know all you folks are reading this from all over the world. Have a good weekend wherever you may be.
(I'm leaving the snowfall number out from Tsugaike because it's the same as yesterday and feels odd. Not sure what is going on there. Will try to work it out).
