Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 237cm

Posted on Tuesday 24th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Morning from Hakuba.


OK, so more snow. (Please don't get bored. How could you, with all this lovely snow?)


The 45cm that Goryu is talking about this morning is rather interesting, and it is definitely an outlier - more than any of the other ski area numbers this morning.


More snow is due today, maybe some clearer skies and sun on Christmas morning and then more snow in the second half of the week. Heavy snow perhaps.


Blimey!
