Posted on Monday 26th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
It was a cold day yesterday but wrap up well and people were rewarded with some very fine conditions.
Hakuba Goryu patrol was reporting 60cm of fresh deep in places, though making the point that we still have less snow out there than last year.
Visibility was varied and pretty poor while I was out there. Choice of google lens important.
Another cold morning but much clearer skies and an increasing amount of blue. Lovely morning down here in the village.
There's more fresh out there this morning with Goryu and 47 reporting 15cm.
A few lifts at Happo-one are going to be delayed due to 'snow clearing'.
Anyway, with that, I'm off out to enjoy it all!
