Hello and Happy New Year from Hakuba!
2022 starts with snow still falling. Wind is unfortunately affecting some higher lifts, including the gondola at Happo-one, the upper section of the Tsugaike gondola and upper lifts at 47/Goryu. Fingers crossed that might improve allowing them to open.
Special mention to the 40cm of fresh being reported at Cortina again!
Tomorrow should be calmer. Some sun even, and according to some forecasts we might even get some sun later today.
Further snow is due later on tomorrow night and early in the week too. A really good and consistent season would be great, please.
