Snow.

Thats all that really needs to be said. It is the first snowfall in the valley for this season and although it is not expected to stay on the ground too long it will start filling in some of the gullies and crevasses up higher. This will mean an earlier start to those who head out into the magnificent backcounrty here. When the snow starts falling it adds a great level of anticipation throughout the valley for the beginning of another legendary snow season in Hakuba.
