Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 407cm

Posted on Tuesday 30th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


The snow clouds remained over Hakuba yesterday and they remain over us this morning. Mostly light snow so not huge amounts to report - I have 5cm to add to the reports. Here is what the resorts are reporting:


Hakuba Goryu: 10cm on upper areas

Hakuba Cortina: 10cm across mountain


So we can expect a modest layer of fresh to play in early on.


It's keeping cold and generally limited visibility on the mountain. There's a good chance that tomorrow will be slightly milder and clearer. We might get some sunshine too and it seems we should have a few days of calmer and clearer weather and get back to snow by the end of the weekend.
