Some thin cloud over the mountains but other than that it's lovely sunshine and fine blue skies over Hakuba again, making for a good end to the season (* see below!). Temps dipped down to around +3 overnight in the village but will probably rise to over 20 degrees later on today. There's a chance of rain later on according to the forecast, but hopefully that will be once the lifts are done for the day.
Hre we were thinking that today was going to be the last day of the ski season in Hakuba. Well, apparently, not quite!
Hakuba Goryu is planning to open it's top runs once again next weekend, the 11th and 12th of May, for one last go. If you fancy a last (last) run out, it'll be 2000 yen for adults and 600 yen for children. Other resorts don't seem to be planning to do the same with them all saying that today is the last day of the ski season.
At the end of today, Monday 6th May, the ski season will officially close at the Hakuba Happo-one, Hakuba 47 and Tsugaike Kogen resorts.
