Posted on Thursday 6th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It is colder this morning again.
I don't seem to have said this as much this year but... Hakuba Cortina wins the 'most snowfall' competition this morning, reporting 20cm. Other resorts coming in with numbers ranging from just a few cm at base to 15cm on upper areas. Mixed bag of numbers, but whatever - there's light fresh snow everywhere this morning and I for one am looking forward to getting out on the slopes this morning even if visibility does look limited.
Quite strong winds in places at the moment which have the potential to affect lift operations - I see that the top lifts at Goryu and Line C and E at 47 are not moving early due to the winds. Happo appears to be unaffected for now and it looks like Cortina is open normally too.
Snow showers are expected over the next few days and through into next week as well and it will be remaining cold. So it should be a really good weekend coming up especially if we get a bit more snow.
