Posted on Friday 19th April 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
After the spookily hazy kind of day yesterday, things seem somewhat improved this morning.
Hakuba 47 called the hazy situation due to 'Gobi Dessert Dust'. That actually sounds quite yummy, but alas, it's 'desert' dust. ;)
We still have a lot of cloud this morning, but there's some blue sky too. It's keeping fairly cool and currently about 9-10C in the village.
Lifts on hold at Happo-one at 8:40am due to windy conditions on the mountain.
Someone asked why Goryu is still declaring 75cm of snow at the base Toomi area on the official website. You can see the Toomi run on the third image below to check for yourself. I think they have just not updated it. I've taken it off my list below because I do not want to post information that is clearly incorrect.
