Posted on Monday 30th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Full disclosure: I'm not actually in Hakuba this morning. I'm over in Nagano City, here to pick up some good friends visiting from overseas. So this report is coming to you courtesy of a friend as well as official websites info etc. Always a bit uneasy doing this especially when it is snowing... But I am looking forward to getting back, as it sounds like there has been a good new layer of snow on the mountains and it looks like there's going to be some decent snow coming up too.
Hakuba 47 appear to be reporting 30-40cm on their upper areas. Always good numbers to see. My favourite number range. No, actually, I prefer 50+cm, but perhaps shouldn't get greedy.
Talking of greedy, this big hotel breakfast was very good indeed. I think I need to do a lot of intense exercise! Deep fresh snow sounds like just the right place to do that.
I'll be back in Hakuba tomorrow.
