Good morning from Hakuba.


I am still not feeling myself this morning, but am happy to be able to quickly report fresh snowfall to you.


Hakuba Cortina - 30-40cm

Hakuba 47 - 20-25cm

Hakuba Goryu - 10-15cm

Hakuba Happo-one - 10cm


For all the genki folk out there...this morning should be good!


Note - seems the Gondola and top lifts at Happo are on hold at the start of the day due to wind.


Forecast looking good for decent snowfall over the coming week from Sunday.
