Conditions were rather... blustery... out on the mountain yesterday. Happo was largely closed for lots of the day and other places were limited due to the windy conditions.

Snow and more snow. And wind. It continues to snow. Since yesterday up to 50cm being reported (Cortina), with an average of up to 30cm around the village.

Well I said we were expecting more snow overnight and we sure got it. Yesterday was mostly cloudy and as evening approached the clouds came down lower and it was snowing.

Not much in terms of new snow to report from Hakuba this morning. Yesterday we got to see some sunlight shine down on the village in the afternoon.

New snow to report from Hakuba this morning. Yesterday by afternoon it was snowing and visibility up at Hakuba 47 where I boarding was pretty poor at times. Some nice big flakes coming down.

The light snow continued for much of yesterday but it didn't really do much to bring us any new cm to report this morning. The mountains for the most part remained shrouded in cloud.

It was snowing nicely yesterday morning and we got some more cm on the ground... by lunchtime Hakuba Cortina was reporting 5cm of additional snow and up to that around Hakuba I would say too.

A fine and calm day it was yesterday. The skies turned somewhat overcast from early afternoon but it stayed bright until evening arrived.

There is lots of snow to report from Hakuba this morning. It is a very cold, snowy and windy morning. At the moment it is -13 degrees on Usagidaira at 1400m, and there's a 7.6m/s wind blowing.

No new snow being reported around the valley this morning. The windy and snowy conditions of yesterday are not with us this morning and all is calm once again in Hakuba.

Morning from Hakuba and it's snowy news I bring this morning. Around 20cm or so of snow at village/base level this morning with resorts around Hakuba and Otari reporting up to 30cm on the slopes.

Another cold start to the day in Hakuba. When I got up the thermometer was telling me -8 degrees. Not quite so cold now at around -4.

It is a cold and snowy start to the day in Hakuba. And it was a snowy day yesterday as well only clearing up a bit early evening.

I came back to Hakuba early afternoon yesterday and had a look round the resorts. It isn't exactly surprising, but from what I could see it looked extremely busy out there.
