Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 387cm
Posted on Sunday 30th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Some fresh snow this morning. 4cm for the report. Let me note that Hakuba 47 are reporting 2-3cm at base.
(For those of you who get worked up about 'the numbers', I am unable to report more than is observed by my eyes and measured by my ruler. That would be intentionally misleading. Sorry, don't do that.)
OK, now I've got that out of my way, let me refresh my mind and put a smile back on my face... :)
Cortina is this morning reporting 5-15cm over the last 24 hours and Tsugaike 10cm on upper areas.
Light snow falling just now and it's a cold start to the day. A it like yesterday really. It should be a fine morning to be out there. We might get some sunshine tomorrow morning and look out for the chance of some decent snowfall around Tuesday night.
I have added the 'top of Risen quad lift snowfall' number to my list below. I will keep that in there and check it every morning, just like all the other numbers.
