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

It's another of those stunning bluebird days in Hakuba. Lucky people who are here at the moment.

It's windy out on them there mountains this morning! And cold too, down to a chilly -7 even in the village.

The snow continued yesterday and this morning resorts around the valley are reporting up to 35cm of new snowfall since yesterday.

Light powder snow. How does that sound? There has been around 10-15cm of it fall in the village overnight and up to 30cm being reported from the mountains.

Yesterday it was snowing through the day on the mountains and Hakuba has dry, light snow covering the trails at present. It is snowing this morning as well with about 2-3 cm of fresh snow around the village.
