Posted on Tuesday 29th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Morning to you from Hakuba.


And it is an excellent morning. I bring you very good news.


This is what the ski resorts are reporting in terms of fresh snowfall:


Hakuba Goryu: 30cm (Toomi); 50cm (top)

Hakuba 47: 20-30cm

Hakuba Cortina: 30-40cm

Hakuba Norikura: 30cm

Hakuba Iwatake: 20cm

Hakuba Happo-one: 15cm


Nice numbers (if a little varied). I can add 33cm to the report as well.


There's actually some sun shining through in places; lots of cloud still around the mountains but increasingly blue skies above the village.


I'll leave it at that for today. I just need to decide where I want to go to get stuck in all that lovely fresh snowy goodness. It should be a really great morning.
