Hello and good morning from Hakuba.
And this morning I have some fresh snow news for you. 2cm being measured down here at base, and there is a thin layer of snow once again covering base areas. It's good to see of course but probably will not last long with sunshine expected today. But wait, more snow tomorrow? It's not giving up easy this season...
Snow is falling giving us limited visibility on the mountains at the moment early on. Don't stop please!
