Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 320cm

Posted on Tuesday 31st December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


A lovely mix of cloud and blue sky during the day yesterday making for some dramatic scenery.


We're back to limited visibility this morning and snow falling on the mountains. Doesn't feel particularly cold this morning. I might be able to start 2025 with some good snowfall numbers. Yey!


Have yourself a fine New Years Eve and see you again tomorrow morning as we start the new year.


Peace!
