Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 17cm
Posted on Friday 20th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Here is what the ski resorts are putting out there this morning:
- Happo-one are officially reporting 10cm of snowfall on the upper Kurobishi area. They are at the same time reporting 2cm at the top of the Gondola on social media, but officially none at Usagidaira. Don't shout at me, I'm only reporting what I see.
- Hakuba Goryu are reporting 1cm on their upper slopes.
- Hakuba 47 are reporting no new snowfall, but they are reporting snow falling as of 8am on the mountain.
OK, good news in that the top run at Goryu/47 is back open from this morning - the Panorama course and the Hakuba 47 Line E lift and upper R8 are now once again available.
47 are reporting snow falling nicely up there as of 8am this morning which is good to hear. Get the Gondola back to base at both Goryu and 47. Looks like limited visibility up there early on.
If the forecast is correct, tomorrow will probably start with some sunshine.
