Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 77cm

Posted on Tuesday 14th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Hello and good morning from Hakuba.


I am very happy to report that we are on a bit of a roll at the moment. I'll name it a 'relative roll' (because it's not like a full-on total dumpage kind of roll).


Mmmmmm, rolls!


OK back to being serious. Resorts are reporting another 10-15cm of fresh snowfall on our beloved mountains and it has been a beautiful early morning. Oh yes, I have an observed 5cm to add to my report from base.


Early on there is a lot of cloud, gas around as well as blue skies making for varying views depending on where you are. Quite dramatic in places.


Whether cloud will remain or it will clear up... well, we'll just have to see.


The forecast for tomorrow is looking good for snow. Let's expecting!
