Field Observations:
- Hakuba Avalanche Control Team avalanche bulletin here. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Please note the date! the bulletin is often very behind current conditions and only useful if it was published on the day you read it.
- Japan Avalanche Network field data for Hakuba backcountry here. This requires more training to interpret, but usually has recent data. But again, pay close attention to the date data was gathered.
Again no touring, 2nd day of rest whilst I prepare for some upcoming events and before launching my spring touring in earnest next week. Strong winds above 2100m.
