Good morning from Hakuba, and welcome to a new week. If you count Monday as the start of the week, of course.

Anyone out there enjoy yesterday? Poor visibility but with snow continuing to come down there were some very very fine snow conditions out there.

The snow continues. It's powder all over the place this morning.

Wow it's a very snowy morning here in Hakuba. It started snowing late afternoon/early evening yesterday and it has obviously been busy at it overnight.

Snow of the heavier variety falling this morning in the village.

Mixed conditions out on the slopes yesterday depending on where you were.

Yesterday we ended up actually seeing the sun for short periods in the afternoon as the general cloudiness eased off somewhat.

It was a blue sky start to the day yesterday but clouds gradually increased as the day went on and by evening we had mostly cloud cover over the mountains.

Blue skies over Hakuba this morning.

It's our turn now with probably 30cm of new snowfall in the village since last report.

Some snowfall to report overnight this morning with about 10cm or so on the ground in the village area.

One of the downsides of an early report like yesterday is that things sometimes end up rather different from early on. Like yesterday.

Blue skies on show in places with the stunning mountains + cloudy scenery at times yesterday from the village.

Good morning from Hakuba. The clouds stuck around for the most part yesterday.
