Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 216cm

Posted on Friday 10th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


We didn't get to see much of the sun at all yesterday in the end, but this morning the sun is out and while there's lots of cloud around still it looks set to be a fine day here in Hakuba. It's keeping very cold though which should keep the snow conditions good out there.


Talking of snow, a mixed report this morning. While Goryu reported 0-10cm and Hakuba 47 reported 5-10cm, Hakuba Cortina to the north in Otari has been reporting 20-50cm this morning. Some difference that! Based on those numbers, Cortina sounds like a good choice though I'm sure it will be good wherever this morning.


At the time of writing, the Gondola, Line C and Line E lifts at Hakuba 47 are not operating due to windy conditions on the mountain. Down here in the village there isn't much of a wind.
