Today is going to be the last day of the season here in Hakuba.

It's snowing. (Of course it is!)

So after that big news yesterday, Tsugaike Kogen is also now closed and we are left with just Hakuba 47 and Hakuba Goryu remaining open in the area.

Out the sun is! It is a lovely morning. Less cloud than yesterday morning but we are on for another fine spring day.

The snow around base and lower areas has been noticeably disappearing with spring warmth taking hold yesterday.

Clear blue skies this morning with warm temperatures forecast - and more of that tomorrow too, perhaps a bit of cloud.

What a nice surprise that snow was yesterday.

Up to 30cm of fresh snowfall being reported by Happo-one and 20cm on lower areas.

The below information is checked from official sources and manually adjusted each morning.

Morning from Hakuba. Winter hasn't given up yet.

It's mid March and.... hold on, let me just check the calendar.

Some more fresh snow to report along with beautiful blue skies this morning.

There is fresh snow on the ground. I can report 5cm so far (and counting) and this is what the ski resorts themselves are reporting... 10-15cm at 47 and Happo-one.

The clouds that we had early morning yesterday cleared up leaving us with blue skies all around. A lovely spring day.
