Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Posted on Tuesday 11th February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba on this national holiday (National Foundation Day).


Due to it being a holiday, it will probably more feel like a weekend than a Tuesday.


Anyway some good numbers to report this morning with Happo-one, Goryu and 47 all reporting 15-20cm across the mountain, Cortina reporting 30cm and I am noticing a Tsugaike source reporting 35cm.


Very nice.


Early morning we have a bunch of visibility conditions - it's still limited up on the upper areas of Happo-one and Goryu right now, but in other areas it's much clearer and there is quite a lot of blue sky opening up above us and the sun is out.


It should be a really good day.


From tomorrow it will be getting much milder than it has been - and more than we would like - for a few days. Let's hope it doesn't warm up too much.


I'm heading out now. The biggest problem is choosing where to go.
