Hakuba Happo-one is a resort in Nagano - Hakuba (Japan) skied between 760 and 1831 metres, with 25 km of pistes and 20 lifts.
The camera shows real visibility and snow on the ground, not the forecast. Snow depth by altitude — 760 to 1831 m — and the days ahead are in the Hakuba Happo-one snow report.
Which lifts and runs Hakuba Happo-one opens is published by the resort every morning and changes with the wind: the upper ones, up to 1831 m, are the most exposed. If the camera is a white blur mid-morning, that is usually why.
