The benefits of sliding early the day after Christmas is that most people are still in bed while you get all the pow.

It was another perfect Christmas day in Hakuba with Santa bringing us lots of powder snow. The last 2 years has certainly delivered the goods. A great day was had by all who hit the mountains and there was lots of Christmas cheer going around in the evening.

It will continue to snow tonight and a little tomorrow before clearing.  I am looking forward to seeing some blue sky and the mountain views at their pristine best. Go for first tracks at Happo One tomorrow. Nakiyama Lifts are now open also so ski down for some great Thai food at Bangkokya
