Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 31cm

Posted on Saturday 28th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


I have 8cm to report from base. The snowfall has eased off and there is actually a fair bit of blue sky around now, which lots of cloud lingers around upper mountain areas. It is a lovely morning to go out and enjoy the fresh snowfall. (If you are feeling better than I am!).


Hakuba Norikura and Hakuba Cortina are now both part open and more of Happo-one is opening this morning as they get their Skyline Number 1 lift and Nakiyama Number 3 lifts moving - though you still need to get lifts back down to base.
