Good morning from Hakuba.


Lots of cloud around yesterday but some blue sky too; no snow falling through the day.


But the snow clouds are back now and it has started falling again from early this morning.


Just a little fresh snow being reported by resorts so far this morning:


Hakuba Goryu: up to 5cm

Hakuba Cortina: 2-3cm

Hakuba Happo-one: 3cm (top Gondola station)


Hopefully some more (bigger) numbers to report tomorrow morning.


Hope you have a good Saturday.
