Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


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

Posted on Thursday 27th November 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


It is a fine middle of the day here with the sun out and lots of blue sky, which is far preferable to all that rain of the last few days. Ski runs are all looking rather bare now with the snowline retreating back up the mountain. Today and tomorrow we expect highs of around 12-13 degrees here in the village... more sun tomorrow.


Looks like we might get rained on again before the snow arrives, but things are looking encouraging for snow around Tuesday 2nd.


Ski and snowboard resorts triple checking everything with Happo, 47, Goryu and Tsugaike ready to go as soon as there's enough snow. Hopefully that will be next week.


I'm happy to report that the Prefectural Road 33 - the one that that connects Hakuba with Nagano city - is now re-open. It sounds like some more repairs are needed in the Horinouchi area, but the road is passable. I'm sure that any further fixes will be made quickly. That road the gateway to Hakuba from Nagano and so lots of people use it and it's an important one to be open.


Planned opening dates :


Hakuba 47 - as soon as there's enough snow

Hakuba Goryu - as soon as there's enough snow

Happo-one - as soon as there's enough snow

Tsugaike Kogen - as soon as there's enough snow

Kashimayari Sports Village - early December

Hakuba Sanosaka - mid December

Hakuba Norikura Onsen - mid December

Hakuba Cortina - Saturday 13th December

Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field - Friday 19th December
