Posted on Wednesday 2nd February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
We have a very nice layer of fresh snow on the ground this morning. After sort of snowing lightly in places during the afternoon yesterday, the taps were really turned on overnight.
The snow being reported by ski areas is noted in the list below (as it is every day) and as you can see the numbers are generally up there in the 30's. Nice. And there's more snow on the forecasts. In particular expect a snowy weekend.
Currently -3C.
Very good reset start to February.
The official season total snowfall accumulation number being put out there by Tsugaike and Cortina is now over 7m.
