Posted on Sunday 10th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Well, yesterday was exciting! And this morning there's more snow to add to the fun.


You can see the fresh snowfall numbers below, but basically the big ski areas are reporting a further 10-20cm (and more) on the mountain. Iwatake and (top of Riesen at) Happo-one reporting up to 30cm.


Right now it is still mostly cloudy but some blue sky and sun breaking through in places. It feels like it might clear up during the day... and sun is forecast for tomorrow morning.


Happy for the folks.
