And a very good morning to you all.
More snow, more lifts and more courses.
Lots to report this morning with Happo-one back open and Hakuba 47 and Tsugaike Kogen opening up - along with Hakuba Goryu of course. I have been checking the details and the open status of each resort at the start of the day today is noted below.
Like I said, Happo-one open again this morning and they have got more lifts moving too with the Panorama, Usagidaira and Kurobishi areas all due to be open.
I'd say we are off to a very good start!
The snow clouds should be clearing up today and even now there is a bit of sunshine breaking through the clouds. It should be a good day and sun is forecast for tomorrow morning too.
