Hello from Hakuba on this snowy Sunday morning.
It's not actually snowing at base as I write this now but it looks like it's still coming down at higher elevations. Not a huge amount, but it's good to get the reports off to a start.
The forecast remains good for more snow during today and through tomorrow too.
When you think it's still just 19th November, this is all feeling really good and positive.

From previous report:
In ski resort news, the main thing I can report is that this season Hakuba Sanosaka will not be part of the joint ‘Hakuba Valley’ ticket deal. There were various rumours going around about Sanosaka over summer... it will be opening but it looks like operations will be somewhat scaled down with just three lifts (Number 2 quad lift, Number 3 quad lift, Number 6 pair lift) scheduled to be operating. The ‘Hakuba Valley’ lift ticket prices for the 2017-2018 season have been updated on each of the 9 ski resort pages on SnowJapan.
