Good morning all.
Fresh snow again! And actually some fairly decent numbers too, especially when you look at the date.
Let's see what the resorts are reporting:
Hakuba Cortina: 3cm (top, bottom)
Hakuba Happo-one: 8cm (top Riesen lift) --- but they are also mentioning 20cm on social media
Hakuba 47: 5-10cm (lower); 10-15cm (top)
We are measuring 3cm at our point down at base.
I like the sound of that 20cm, though I can't personally confirm it and it's a little curious how it is so different from the number they usually put out (the 8cm I mention above). 47 are also mentioning 20cm 'in some places' in upper areas. I'm willing to take that on and perhaps some investigation is required.
It is probably a bit wet and heavy but I doubt anyone will be moaning about that!
Great to see snow on the ground again early morning and if the forecasts are correct we still haven't seen the last of it.
Before that though, some clearer skies due tomorrow.
