Hakuba and Shiga Kogen in Nagano are seeing some snow for the first time, as are northern regions of Honshu. Still fairly mild and no snow in Niigata. Click on the link below to read more. Another place to stay in Zao Onsen will be added later in the week.
Today marks the opening of some resorts, albeit on just some of their runs.
Other resorts that planned to open were not able to due to the lack of snow. Most of the resorts that planned to open have delayed their opening date to wait for some more snow, which hopefully will be with us soon. Our Resort Watch page has been updated and we will be keeping a close eye on the situation. Due to the snow conditions, the Niseko Hirafu and Niseko Annpuri resorts have delayed their openings from tomorrow until the 25th November. More news from other resorts who plan to open tomorrow soon.
