Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 334cm
Posted on Thursday 2nd January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Cloudy skies this morning with some light snow flurries around base areas and snow falling at higher elevations.
I hope to bring news of cm tomorrow morning.
By the way, here are the 'total snowfall accumulation this season so far' numbers, as reported on the official Hakuba Valley site.
ABLE Hakuba Goryu: 446cm
Hakuba 47: 406cm
Hakuba Happo-one: 553cm
Tsugaike Mountain Resort: 118cm
I haven't been following these numbers every day. But that Tsugaike number is clearly incorrect (and was only last updated on 28th December).
I'll keep an eye on that data, but I think for now I'll leave those numbers off this report.
