Good morning from Hakuba.
February already! Yikes.
This morning we have a lot of cloud around and while it is snowing in places, it's also quite bright.
You can see the reported snowfall numbers in the list below. Just a bit.
All areas open, though the top lift at Happo-one will be closed for the day (for 'snow clearing').
More snow forecast tomorrow and then clearer skies across the region expected perhaps from Tuesday.
