Posted on Thursday 25th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from a very snowy and a very cold Hakuba.
Mid-winter. Loads of snow. It's here.
Fresh snow headlines:
Hakuba Happo-one: 45cm (top gondola station)
Hakuba Cortina: 30cm (base); 40cm (upper)
Hakuba 47: mixed numbers, at least 40cm since last night; they were reporting 30cm yesterday evening
Hakuba Goryu: Toomi 10cm (honto ni?!); 40cm (upper)
So some very good numbers there.
You shouldn't be surprised to be able to find (well) over 50cm of deep out there with the snow over the last few.
Lots of the official snow depths have seen big increases over the last few days - as you might expect with all this snow coming on. Check out Happo-one reporting nearly 4m up top there.
It is still snowing with more lined up over the coming days.
Strong winds are this morning preventing some upper lifts from moving. Some info as available below as of 8:30am but be sure to check for the latest with resorts if you wish to brave the elements and get to that fresh snow.
If you do be sure to wrap up extra good and take extra care on the mountain. All this fresh snow is exciting but bring with it dangers. Ki-o-tsukete!
