Merrry Christmas! Finally we have bright sunlight and blue skies here in Hakuba since,...I don't remember when!

No new snow overnight, so the slopes will most likely be beautifully cordoroy groomed, and fairly tracked up powder in the trees, yep! All the powder dogs that were out there yesterday were pretty hungry.

Also, along with the clear skies, came very cool temperatures, -14 deg. at the top of the mountains and -8 at the bottom of Goryu this morning, keep those ears covered.
