I think I have caught something from my Hakuba Now reporting friend. Bad cold, bad condition, groggy.
But... this morning the slopes of Nozawa should be in fine shape with more snow since yesterday and what looks like clearing clouds.
The forecast is looking very nice at the moment with lots of regular snowfall - heavy at times - starting from tomorrow night, but don't be too shocked to see some rain down in the village before that clicks in. Fingers crossed we avoid that, but there is a chance of that.
For now though, all good.
