Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 32cm

Posted on Tuesday 31st December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


Well, we did get some snow falling yesterday morning and I feel we all deserve a little added to the report to represent that - though it didn't amount to much and the resorts aren't reporting any new cm (as you can see below).


Cortina appear to be open again, with their Number 2 and 4 lifts operating; though they are saying that the courses are not groomed (due to lack of snow).


This morning lots of cloud and... (small voice...) a bit of rain. One of those days when it looks like higher temperatures higher up than down at base.


But snow is due later on. I believe.


There will be various New Year Eve things going on tonight including fireworks. I'm guessing one or two people might enjoy a drink or two as well. ;)


Take care, have fun and see you tomorrow.


I am going to start the new year tomorrow with a refreshed and positive frame of mind, which will be helped considerably by some fresh snow to report.
