All of a sudden, we have been blessed with a considerable amount of snow.

It's snowing this morning and there's a good 5-10cm of snow accumulated across base areas

We are now one week away from the planned opening dates of 4 major ski areas around Hakuba.

Woo-hooo! It's only a little bit, but it's hard not to get excited about having snow on the car roof this morning down here near base.

Welcome back to the Hakuba Now reports.
