Posted on Thursday 5th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Greetings from Hakuba.


It is a cloudy morning with some blue sky and the sun starting to shine through in places. Feels like it might turn out to be a fine day with more of that due tomorrow too.


Seems calm out there and just a good day to be outside.


Cortina is reporting the most fresh snow this morning - up to 25cm fresh snow on upper areas since yesterday. Sounds good.


And I think that's all I have for you this morning. In some ways, I suppose it's good to be struggling for words!
