Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 18cm
Snowfall at base this season 424cm
Posted on Tuesday 21st February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
The most exciting headline this morning is 60+cm of snowfall reported from over at Hakuba Cortina. Other ski areas in Hakuba are also reporting good numbers from the mountains, mostly in the 20-30cm range. That brings the total snowfall reported by Cortina for the season to over 7m, and over 6m at Goryu (see the list below, updated daily).
So that's great news and we should get some more today. It is snowing lightly as I write this report and visibility seems fairly decent too, perhaps limited in places higher up.
And then tomorrow, some sunshine.
It is a good time to be here.
