Good morning from Hakuba.
It's the last day of March. April tomorrow. Blimey, winter really comes and goes so very quickly. It's just not fair!
But anyway.
Fine feel-good weather yesterday.
This morning we have a mix of cloud and (mostly lighter) blue sky with a hazy feel looking east.
And we should expect sunny skies over the weekend.
All lower runs at Tsugaike are now closed and so you need to get the gondola back down to base.
