Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 14cm
Snowfall at base this season 198cm
Posted on Sunday 15th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Morning from Hakuba and there's more snow to report. Just under 15cm on the ground here and resorts reporting as follows:
Hakuba Cortina: 30-40cm at base and 40-50cm up top.
Hakuba Goryu: 20-40cm
Hakuba 47: 30-40cm
Hakuba Happo-one: 10cm
I think Hakuba Cortina was jealous yesterday as today they zoom to the top of the 'most new snow' for today. But the numbers are good for everywhere, even if Happo is curiously declaring only 10cm.
Anyway...fresh snow everywhere!
There's a fairly strong wind northerly wind this morning and at the start of the day it is affecting top lifts at Goryu/47, Happo-one and Tsugaike Kogen. The top areas of those resorts are unavailable at the time of posting this report and wind is forecast for the day - check with the resorts for the latest on that situation through the day.
(It looks like the Osaru area of the 'Tree Riding Zone' at Hakuba 47 will be open from today).
