Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 579cm
Posted on Wednesday 23rd February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
We have had more snow over the last 24 hours (most of the number at base during the day yesterday) with ski areas generally reporting up to 20cm since yesterday on mountain, the exception being Cortina who report 35cm. (Cortina is now reporting a total of over 10m of snowfall this season on its upper areas. Yey!)
It has still been snowing lightly this morning in places but stopped for the moment. And the sun seems to be trying to break through the cloud. Webcams show it is still snowing a bit at higher elevations.
There's an event being held at Happo-one from today through Friday. That means that there will be course restrictions around the course.
After all this snow, some clearer weather is ahead of us over the coming days. Some nice weather to enjoy the powder would be sweet, and I can't wait to get out there this morning. Conditions should be very fine...
