Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 402cm
Posted on Saturday 2nd March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
More fresh snow and a fair amount of it too. Up to 30cm being reported by ski areas. It's nice and cold too. Hey, it feels like winter! And I like it. (And there is more snow across the weekly forecast so hopefully we will continue to get more).
What a pleasure it is to see official snow depth numbers actually increasing. It's even more pleasurable to actually get out and enjoy the snow. Obviously. So, yes, I have things to do from now. See you tomorrow.
