Good morning from Hakuba.
Some incredible views yesterday morning; my friend was up on an early lift at Happo and enjoyed that amazing 'sea of clouds' look. Nice.
After the cloudy start, more and more blue skies appeared as the afternoon moved on and the sun was with us too at times. It was calm, but remained cold. Nice conditions.
This morning there's a thin layer of snow to report. Here's what the ski resorts are reporting this morning:
Hakuba 47: about 10cm on upper areas
Hakuba Happo-one 5cm
Hakuba Goryu: 3-5cm
Hakuba Cortina: 2cm
A cold start but it will be getting slightly milder than it has been during the day today especially if that sun gets confident! Just some low cloud around and lots of blue sky.
It should be a really great morning.
Milder conditions during the daytime tomorrow too, but it'll be getting colder again by the end of tomorrow and we'll probably see a return to more fresh snowfall.
