Snowfall at base this season 345cm
Posted on Wednesday 19th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Light snow on and off during the day yesterday. We even got some clearings in the clouds from time to time in the middle of the day and some brief appearances by the sun, but come evening the snow was falling again. It didn't amount to much in terms of new snowfall though with just a few cm being reported from across the resorts - most coming in from Cortina with up to 5cm.
This morning while there is still a lot of cloud around, there's some blue sky too and sunlight shining down on slopes here and there. Feels like it might clear up and be a fine day here, and any light snow that might be falling at higher elevations will probably stop fairly soon. Tomorrow is forecast to be similarly cloud/sun.
Actually there's more clearer conditions lined up on the forecasts than there is snow for the coming week, so we'll get to see the mountains again.
Clearer conditions of course don't mean that avalanche risk disappears along with the clouds. Take care out there and enjoy the current snow conditions.
