Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 509cm
Posted on Saturday 24th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It was snowing by the time those Taiko drums got going during the Fire Festival last night and this morning just a little snow being reported by the resorts:
Hakuba Cortina: 2-3cm
Happo-one: 1cm
It has started snowing again this morning and there is a few cm on the ground to report.
It's going to be a little warmer today so expect snow conditions to match.
The Chinese New Year holidays have passed now and we are in the last weekend of February. Regular as clockwork, once we get into March we'll start hearing mention of 'spring' and less people will be inclined to ski --- many times, regardless of the weather and snow conditions. March can definitely deliver - so let's hope March 2018 does just that!
