Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 415cm

Posted on Saturday 29th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


The sun is out and it's going to be another warm day in Hakuba.


A bit less warm tomorrow and rain on the forecast, though still I see snow mentioned for high elevations with the freezing point set to drop below 1500m. It's going to be interesting to see if we get anything out of that.


For now though, a very fine sunny day for spring skiing and boarding.
