It is snowing heavily and the wind is blowing pretty hard in Hakuba this morning. A full on blizzard with high gusty winds and lots of snow transport should be expected on all resorts today. Approximately 15-20 cms of new snow overnight and more snow flurries are supposed to continue until tomorrow morning. It was -19 C on the top of Happo One today, so dress warm and be wary of frost bite, especially with the high winds.
Many resorts with exposed lifts on ridges or gondolas will most likely be shut periodically today due to the high winds. As well the visibility above 1500m will be more obscured and limited, might be better to play in the powder in the lower trees today.
Conditions on the resorts in Hakuba today will be powder, chopped powder and groomers (with some fresh on them). Keep warm and enjoy the cold winter storms that mother nature is throwing at us, yippee!
