Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 406cm

Posted on Monday 20th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Ahhh, fresh snow. Don't you just love it. It's a relief after rain too!


There is about 5cm around bases, with 15-20cm of snow being reported on upper areas, Kurobishi at Happo-one reporting 25cm. That sounds like a decent refresh - with more snow due through tomorrow, perhaps heavy at times. Fingers crossed we get a decent amount.


Right now it is just under -1C.


Sun is currently due on Wednesday, so that will be fun if we get our dumpage before then.
