Good morning.
It's a lovely one too. Clear blue skies. There might not be much snow left, and it definitely ain't fluffy, but it's going to be a really good day to be out there.
By all accounts it is going to be a very warm day with temps rising up into high 20s in the village.
The top Riesen Grat course is now closed (for skiing/snowboarding) at Happo-one. The Grat quad is still operating, but only for sightseeing/climbing folks.
Hakuba 47 appears to be planning on keeping the gondola moving until 28th April. (After that, access will be via Goryu. And it may close sooner depending on snow).
I know is officially kind of starts tomorrow, but... let's Golden Week!
