Posted on Thursday 16th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
A bit more snow to report this morning - from varying amounts in base areas (none to few cm) in base areas, and up to 10cm being reported by Hakuba Cortina.
Lots of cloud/fog covering lots of the ski slopes this morning and generally a lot of cloud around, though a few patches of blue sky to be seen from village areas - and the sun looks like it's trying to break through too.
Actually forecasts seem to point towards a clear-up today.
Just a bit of light snowfall is scattered around the forecast for the coming week, but there's more sun on that forecast than winter-like conditions. It doesn't look like it should be warming up too much though which is a good thing.
