We have had some beautiful autumn conditions here in Hakuba, the last few days in particular. Lovely blue skies and spectacular colours on the mountains. Awesome stuff. What a great prelude to the winter season as well.

It has been fairly warm as well with daytime temperatures at around 20 degrees or so at village level today. Some wispy clouds around today, but just about right I say!

It looks like we are going to see rainy wet conditions over the weekend unfortunately but after that once we get into next week we can perhaps expect to see another dusting of snow on the upper slopes around Tuesday night as temperatures dip further.
