Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 257cm

Posted on Sunday 25th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


The most fresh snow being reported by a ski area this morning is again Cortina, reporting a very nice 50+cm. Goryu and 47 are reporting 30cm on mountain.


Again looking at the snow maps, it seems regions to the north have received the most fresh snow.


I have measured 24cm since yesterday morning.


There's some very fine snow out there.


As Tsugaike says this morning (well, with the help of a rubbish but amusing auto-translation):


"Enjoy with immersion caution! Please be careful, it's a little out of sight."


Indeed.


I'm a bit early this morning and that means that some official info hasn't been updated yet and so no list today.
