Posted on Sunday 25th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It was a mix of cloud and clearer conditions yesterday - with one minute limited visibility and light snow, and the next the sun shining. All depends on where you chose to be. I enjoyed some very fine conditions out there and felt there was more fresh than the resorts were reporting early morning. Really very nice conditions for late March though, for sure.
Resorts don't seem to be reporting any fresh snowfall this morning, other than the 5cm from Hakuba Cortina.
This morning some cloud still around but lots of blue sky.
Last chance for Happo-one nighta this evening.
