Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 17cm

Posted on Friday 13th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


A light covering of snow down in the village this morning.


Hakuba 47 and Hakuba Goryu are both reporting about 10cm of fresh snow on the upper areas. Hakuba Happo-one are reporting 2cm of snow by the top of the Gondola and reporting 10cm of new snowfall for Kurobishi.


The clouds have been packing up early morning and moving on leaving us with increasingly blue skies. Hopefully they will be back with us with a new delivery of snow tomorrow night. Before that, the sun might be trying to edge in to hog the limelight for a while.


Hakuba 47 plans to have their Line C lift operating again from tomorrow.
