Good morning from Hakuba.
More snow to report - with around 10cm at base areas and 15cm higher up (though Tsugaike are reporting 38cm).
Goryu appear to be reporting 30cm and a snow depth of 90cm on the upper areas.
More lifts and courses are open too this morning.
At Happo-one the Usagidaira and Kurobishi areas are now open.
Hakuba 47 are going to be opening up from 8am on Friday and they are doing it in style - in 'sensational' style, as they say themselves! - all of the runs should be open right from the first day.
Impressive indeed.
More snow due today and tomorrow (not as much). There's more due Friday and Saturday too. Beyond that perhaps we'll get something of a break from the snowfall and maybe some sun.
Word of the day: more.
