Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 244cm
Posted on Saturday 21st January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Fresh snow, yey! Nice and cold too.
Ski areas reporting up to 20cm on upper areas this morning and there was slightly under 12cm around my house this morning. Seems fair to think there will be 10-20cm out there across the mountains.
Light snow at the moment, mostly cloudy but it feels like it might be starting to gradually clear. We might get some sun.
It is the Lunar New Year weekend. Welcome to all visitors coming to celebrate in Hakuba.
I'm excited about the prospect of heavy snowfall Tuesday/Wednesday.
