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.
