Posted on Saturday 27th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


I have to get this report up quick this morning...


Hakuba Cortina are reporting 10-15cm, Happo-one and 47 are also reporting 10cm of fresh.


I can report 5cm of snow on the ground.


It is another cold morning and while it is snowing at the start of the day it might just ease off later on. We might even get a bit of sunshine tomorrow.


Have a fun Saturday. Tons of fun out there waiting!
