Posted on Friday 1st March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It's a great start to March with some very nice snowfall numbers being reported by ski areas and a decent layer down to base too.
As you can see on the below list, we're talking 20-30cm on the mountains, with Happo-one reporting 37cm at Usagidaira.
Very nice. And there's going to be more to report tomorrow. Let's keep March going like this, hey?
Currently weather is a mix of cloud, fog, light snow and a bit of blue sky in some places too. It doesn't feel particularly cold, slightly above 0C according to my thermometer.
