It's a good morning to you from Hakuba.
Always good to be able to report fresh snow. And we're doing all right at the moment!
Another 14cm to report since my report yesterday, and it is snowing still this morning and still forecast to be on and off for the day today and tomorrow too.
Resorts are reporting up to 20cm on upper slopes this morning - individual details, where available, are shown below.
After that, we can probably expect some generally clearer and milder conditions come the weekend.
In the meantime, it should be another good day.
Don't go yet winter... stay with us!
