Good morning from Hakuba.
And what a good morning it feels like too. There is a fresh layer of snow on the ground around village areas and it is continuing to snow.
Hakuba 47 are reporting around 20cm on lower areas and about 30-40cm higher up. They are also starting up their lifts and lots of course area - for the moment just for this weekend. Beyond that... we'll see.
Hakuba Goryu will start up their Alps Number 3 pair lift from today.
Hakuba Happo-one are reporting 37cm of fresh snowfall on the Usagidaira area. The official snow depth up there now is 130cm.
Very happy to be able to report these things in November!
Beyond today the forecasts show that there will be break from this snowfall. But hopefully there is enough snow up on the mountains for the open ski areas to remain open in the coming week.
This made me laugh. Good old Facebook. I try my best to avoid it as much as possible, but during the winter there are some Japanese information sources that require me to look.
Anyway, one automated translation this morning is 'translating' the name of the ski area Hakuba Happo-one to... 'Hakuba Flirtatious Ridge ski resort'.
I like that. They should consider renaming themselves.
