Good morning from Hakuba.
It's a very cold early Saturday morning, the sun is out and we have beautiful blue skies. There's some cloud around, but it's that kind that adds to the atmosphere and feel of the morning.
No ski areas reporting any snow since yesterday, but like I said it has stayed cold and conditions should be great this morning. (The 1cm I report this morning is from early yesterday morning, post report).
Tomorrow should be more cloudy and looking at the forecast for the coming week, it looks like it will be generally calm with a bunch of cloud and sun at times. Not a whole lot of snow on there for the moment. We got lots to play in though, so time to enjoy the conditions we have.
47PARKS at Hakuba 47 re-opens today.
I am hearing of various group lessons and such being cancelled at the moment. That is all due to the annoying covid situation. Still, the car parks seem to be pretty lively this morning...
Wrap up well, take care and have a good weekend wherever you are. If you can't get to Hakuba just now, don't worry, it's Hakuba-tastic-ness remains and will be here on the lovely day you are able to get back here!
