Hello from Hakuba.
I was up at Hakuba 47 yesterday afternoon - the weather was fine, but it did get rather windy. It sounds like fairly strong winds continued overnight.
This morning there's lots of cloud around and rather limited visibility in some places by the looks of some of the webcams.
The forecasts how the chance of a bit of snow overnight tonight so things are keeping relatively cold as we head into April.
Today is the last day of the season for a bunch of lifts over at Tsugaike Kogen today, with more lifts around the valley closing at the end of this coming Sunday.
From Monday, we'll be left with just 47/Goryu, Happo-one and Tsugaike Kogen open through until Sunday 7th May.
