Posted on Monday 9th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Morning from Hakuba and there's new snow on them there mountains.
Clouds moved in yesterday reducing visibility on most resort areas mid afternoon and snow coming down.
There's up to 30-40cm of fresh if you are heading over to Cortina this morning - and that resort seems to be all open as well so it should be great times to be had over there.
Less so at the big resorts around the village here with Goryu reporting 15cm, 47 reporting 10-15cm and Happo also reporting 15cm.
A cold morning and it will remain cold through the day with snow forecast for most of the coming week as well. Cautioulsly very optimistic about what's in store!
