Welcome back to Hakuba Now

Tsugaike did very well to keep open until today. There was even a sprinkling of fresh snow up there overnight into Tuesday morning. We have a fine morning to end the season.

The sun is out and it's a bright morning but we do expect some windy conditions.

Today is going to be the last day of the season for the top Hakuba 47 lift and run.

With Happo-one closing yesterday afternoon, just three ski areas remain part open from this morning.

Hakuba Happo-one ski area has this morning announced that Sunday (19th April) will be the last day for skiing and snowboarding at the resort.

A calm morning with a lot of blue sky and some thin cloud.

Pre-weekend update.

It doesn't seem windy out there, and lifts at the four ski areas that remain open should be opening as planned.

There is a lot of cloud around early on today. Thankfully it's not wet this morning but there's some limited visibility in places.

Sunny and warm again but it's going to turn tomorrow with rain expected for the day.

I hope that we have a weekend of good spring weather. It certainly looks like it will be warm. Like, 16C or 17C warm in the village! Poka-poka!

I'm finding it hard to describe the weather this morning so please take a look at the images below to get a feel for it!
