Snowfall at base this season 343cm
Posted on Thursday 20th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
After that beautiful start yesterday it did gradually cloud over though stayed fairly bright during the afternoon. Snow had started up once again and there's some on the ground with more due during today and maybe into tomorrow. Some good numbers please!
Ski areas are generally reporting up to about 5cm early this morning, all found numbers in the list below (as always). Let's see what we have by this time tomorrow.
Because of the snow visibility is a bit limited and probably will be for the day, but all ski areas are opening as planned at the start. Not much of a wind so I wouldn't expect that to be an issue today.
