Posted on Sunday 19th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Nice day yesterday, mostly cloudy but bright with some blue sky from time to time. Snow came in the evening and this morning we have a few cm at base and up to 30cm being recorded by Cortina this morning. Take Cortina out of the equation though and it's more like 5-10cm on the resorts around the village. Goryu and 47 both reporting that number for their upper slopes.
Quite strong winds on the mountain this morning with top lifts at Goryu with the Panorama and Grand Prix courses closed. At Happo the Kurobishi Number 3 pair and Skyline Number 2 pair lifts are also not moving due to wind conditions. As far as I can tell other areas are all operating as normal.
There's an ou-yuki (heavy snow) warning out right at the moment for Hakuba, but for the moment while it is snowing it isn't doing so that heavily and just cloud on the forecast for this afternoon, so not quite sure what to make of that. Perhaps later this morning.
Cloudy weather currently forecast for tomorrow and then some heavy snowfall around Tuesday which might bring us some large numbers.
