Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 405cm

Posted on Tuesday 2nd April 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Morning from Hakuba and yes, I have more fresh snow to report again.


I have to be quick this morning but Hakuba 47 are reporting around 10cm on upper areas; I am measuring 3cm to add to the reports.


With a mix of cloud and blue skies it should be a fine morning to be out on the slopes, with the chance of even more snow falling later and overnight tonight.
