Good afternoon. And how are you all doing?


Welcome back to the 'Hakuba Now' report section for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.


It is November.


It has been getting cold (though over the next few days it will be less so...)


And the first sprinklings of snow have been spotted on upper ski slopes of the mountains. All exciting stuff.


My last report which included a 2017-2018 season wrap up was on 6th May, so that was almost six months ago. Since then, Japan has endured a rather hot summer and more than a fair share of nature-related 'events' too. Various typhoons, flooding and that earthquake up in Hokkaido all made international news. We got some very heavy rain but avoided too much drama from all of that lot.


Hopefully, Nature will decide to give us a particularly consistently snowy winter!

All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Hakuba. The 'new snowfall' number represents the amount of snow measured since the previous report. All opinions are those of the individual reporters. Information regarding ski area operations is manually checked every morning and is believed to be correct at the time of the report.
