Good morning from Hakuba.
So after that big news yesterday, Tsugaike Kogen is also now closed and we are left with just Hakuba 47 and Hakuba Goryu remaining open in the area. Please check out yesterdays report if you missed it.
Hakuba 47 and Hakuba Goryu seem intent to continue as planned, for the moment anyway. I will let you know of any changes.
