Posted on Friday 9th April 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
Clouds gathered during the day yesterday.
And this morning ski areas are reporting some fresh snow... just a couple of cm as noted below, on upper areas. There has been none down to base.
It's 9am and there's blue sky now with some cloud remaining.
While it is fairly cold this morning, over the next few days sun is going to be the headline with temps gradually rising through into early next week.
Should be fine weather for the weekend for some spring sliding.
