Posted on Monday 9th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Hello from Hakuba on this Monday morning; and what we very much hope will be the start of a big week.
First up - fresh snow on the ground. I measure 5cm. And here is what the resorts are reporting this morning:
Happo-one: up to 20cm
Hakuba 47: 10cm
Hakuba Goryu: 5-10cm
Hakuba Cortina: 5-10cm
What's more, the forecast, particularly from late tomorrow through until the weekend, is looking very promising still.
Oh yes.
For the moment this morning there's a lot of cloud around but actually some blue sky and sunshine in places as well. Quite varied conditions this morning depending on where you are. But it should be a fun morning. And today is of course the last day of the long weekend here in Japan. While it will probably still be busier than a normal Monday, things should start to get quieter come this afternoon as people start to make their way back home.
Soon there should be lots of fresh snow everywhere.
