Good morning from Hakuba.
It's very good to see lots of white this morning.
Resorts are reporting up to 10cm of fresh snow on upper areas and there's up to 5cm on lower base areas.
Here's how much fresh snowfall the ski resorts are reporting this morning:
Hakuba 47: 10cm on upper slopes; 5cm on lower area.
Hakuba Goryu: 10cm on upper slopes; 3cm on lower area.
Hakuba Happo-one: 5cm at Usagidaira and Kurobishi. (At the same time, their social media is reporting 10cm at the top of the Gondola)
Hakuba Cortina: 2cm
It looks like the Usagidaira pair lift at Happo-one is operating and the Usagidaira Kids Park is due to open from 10am-3pm.
While there is lots of blue sky early morning, we are expecting more snow tonight and then there's some good snowfall due later Thursday and Friday. This is (hopefully) the week when the gears crank up and I'll be excited to report it to you in the coming days.
Expect a rush of ski lift movement news as soon as there is enough for them to get moving.
