Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 380cm

Posted on Thursday 27th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


Just a thin dusting of snow this morning at base and ski areas who are reporting any reporting up to 5cm (Happo-one at Riesen quad). There's mixed visibility at the moment - limited in places, but brighter in others. At this very moment I could just see the sun from behind the clouds, but it's got hidden once again now. After a bright morning there was some light snow falling yesterday afternoon, but it didn't amount to much in terms of new cm.


Not much of a wind and not too cold. Light snow at times across the coming days, but nothing major is expected. Hopefully it won't warm up.
