Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 18cm
Snowfall at base this season 227cm

Posted on Monday 23rd December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Cloudy skies with snow still coming in, but also some breaks in the cloud away from the mountains.


Looking at webcams, looks like some moderate snow falling up at Goryu.


So there's some varied weather going on this morning.


And more potentially heavy snow tonight!


I'm still struggling a bit, not very genki at the moment, but when I fully recover I am going to take a look back at reports from last year for some comparisons. That is going to be fun.
