Posted on Monday 12th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba on this last day of the long weekend.
Goryu is reporting a large 60cm of fresh snowfall on their social media this morning. Very nice. Cortina and Tsugaike both report about 30cm on mountain. Happo-one hasn't updated their official site info yet.
I'm having trouble connecting with multiple sites this morning and so some of the snow depth data below has not been updated for today.
We have some nice blue sky at the moment along with cloud, but it is still windy and that wind is affecting quite a few lifts. Hopefully they might be able to get moving.
Anyway, if you can get out onto the slopes, conditions should be very pleasing this morning.
And there's more snow due tomorrow.
