Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 99cm
Posted on Tuesday 30th December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Interesting morning we have.
Tsugaike Mountain Resort is reporting 'about 40cm' of snow since last night. Impressive.
It sounds at least 2x more impressive than that on the English auto-translate on official social media where that somehow becomes 'about 40 inches'! Dear oh dear.
Anyway, elsewhere, Happo-one is reporting up to 26cm and Hakuba 47 is reporting up to 15cm. Cortina coming in at 25cm.
Sounds like there should be some fun conditions to be had this morning at higher elevations, where it looks like it snowing quite handily at the moment. And some very limited visibility in places, too.
There's not so much going on lower down, more like several of cm in places. (Of course, that's where I can take consistent measurements each morning and have been doing for well over a decade. If you are unclear on all that, please do click on the About link above to find out more).
We're due snow over the next several days so I hope to be able to report some good numbers to you over the next few reports.
