I have really great news to report this morning.
Hakuba 47 have been reporting around 20cm of snow on lower areas and 45cm of snow higher up.
Hakuba Happo-one have 67cm as their new snowfall/snow depth number at the Usagidaira area on their official website. I had a walk over to the Sakka area this morning and there was probably around 20cm of snow on the ground over there.
I am hearing of around 40cm at Hakuba Iwatake and similar numbers from Tsugaike.
How about that then!? :)
A quick drive around the town areas shows a layer of snow around base areas, drying up as you head out from town.
Hopefully we will get more snow on Saturday and lower areas will remain white, but realistically there is a good chance that we will see the ground again before winter sets in for good.
That impressive snowfall on higher areas should stick around and if we can get some more at the weekend I would guess we might see some ski lifts moving fairly soon.
For the moment there is a lot of cloud around still but patches of blue sky too and the sun is starting to shine through in places too.
