Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this season 92cm
Posted on Monday 19th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
We have had more snow.
More of Happo-one now open, and the run back down to base at Tsugaike also now available.
It is still snowing. Tomorrow we might see a break in the snowfall and maybe even some sun. Should be a great day to be out there.
Beyond that, more snow is forecast later in the week. It sounds like a good pattern to settle into. Santa will be pleased.
