Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 30cm
Snowfall at base this season 313cm

Posted on Saturday 15th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


A very good morning from a very snowy Hakuba. This is how we like it!


Lots of snow to report this morning.


Goryu: 20-30cm

Hakuba 47: 30-40cm

Happo: 15-30cm

Cortina: 20-25cm


No official new snowfall number from Tsugaike, but they have added 40cm to a few of their snow depth numbers.


Lots down at village level as well which is obviously great to see.


The snow was coming down nicely yesterday and by evening there was 15cm or so down here. It has been nice and light as well, and really nice big flakes coming down right this morning.


Traffic problems and closed roads caused by snow to the south in the cities will again mean that it will probably be quieter than usual for a mid season Saturday here.


For those here, it should be a fantastic morning. With more snow due through the day today and overnight, tomorrow should be great too.


:)


Oh yes one more thing. Two actually. It's not mad cold this morning. In fact it's close to zero at base, obviously colder higher up. We hope it remains colder than warmer, obviously. Also stronger winds later on which may potentially affect some lifts.
