Good morning from Hakuba and welcome back.
Can't quite believe that it is 6 months since the last report. We have enjoyed some stunning scenery once again and while late autumn colours remain in lower areas, thoughts now turn to winter and everyone involved is running around getting ready. However early preparations are made, it always seems to end up being a rush!
I will be here with you every day of the season (all being well) and hope to be bringing you lots of lovely snowfall news. More snowfall makes reporting easier; and it always makes everyone happier. And as always, I'll be reporting what I (and my backup info source) actually see and observe - nothing more, nothing less. There'll be no marketing promotion style messaging going on, no sweetening up of information and I'll bring you everything as I see it.
Just one thing I would like to make a note of before things start. In an effort to bring you as much additional information as possible each morning from up on the mountains/ski resorts, we will be making extra checks from around the ski resorts each morning --- and if required, waiting for them to appear. So that means that there is a chance that reports may appear later than they have in previous seasons. Or maybe not. It'll depend on how thing shapes up and we will only really know once the season gets going.
The first lifts of the season at the bigger resorts are due to open as soon as possible from 23rd November - ie. next weekend.
Right now the forecasts don't seem to be showing that to be likely, but I'll post again in the week with an update.
Here's to loads of snow and a great season for everyone!
