Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 31cm
Snowfall at base this season 275cm
Posted on Wednesday 25th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from a cold and snowy Hakuba.
First up, new snowfall being reported by ski areas:
Hakuba Cortina: 50cm+
Hakuba Iwatake: 30-35cm
Hakuba 47:20-30cm
Hakuba Goryu: 20cm
From those numbers it seems the northern regions got more snow... though we have all got a very nice new layer.
My number of 31cm is coming to you from close to the base of Happo-one as of 9am, with most of that coming mid afternoon through last night.
And it is snowing again this morning with more lined up on the forecast in the coming week or so.
I like it.
Less pleasing is that wind is an issue this morning. At the start of the day and a large part of Happo-one is closed - they have just a few base lifts are moving. Only lower lifts at Tsugaike are open too. Goryu and 47 appear to be opening.
