Weather conditions: Snowing
New snowfall: 15 cm
Snow depth: 210 cm (Goryu base) 345cm (Goryu top)
Big fat flakes are falling this morning in Hakuba! With approximately 15 cms of accumulation over the past 24 hrs in the valley, conditions on all the resorts in Hakuba will be fantastic today. Expect light dry powder and chopped powder all day today!
Yesterday, high winds made the upper slopes very cold and some inaccessible so hopefully the lifts will open all the way to the top today and people can ride the whole resorts.
The forecast is calling for snow all through today and Friday, so come the weekend the hills will have heaps of pow pow for the masses!
Button down the hatches, zip up your hood and let it rip!
