Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 580cm

Posted on Thursday 24th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


It's another cold morning. Just a little snow being reported around the mountains this morning, numbers noted below. I'm being kind of generous with my 1cm today. A bit naughty I know.


Light snow easing off and cloudy skies now but we can expect at least some of them to clear today and some bright sunny skies tomorrow too. A fine time to be out on the slopes.
