Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 25cm

Posted on Wednesday 27th November 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


We continue to wait on snow with limited operations continuing at Happo-one, 47, Goryu and Tsugaike Kogen. Actually, Hakuba 47 seem to be reporting 5cm of fresh up top this morning, though nothing lower down. Yesterday we had some very strong winds blowing about which interrupted lifts. But this morning it is much calmer. The calm before the storm hopefully, with decent snowfall forecast for tomorrow and Friday.


I hope to be able to bring news of fresh snow and colder conditions soon.
