Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 100cm
Posted on Wednesday 31st December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
We have another of those days when there appears to have been some pretty good snowfall at higher elevations, as reported by the ski areas, but not really much at all down at base.
This morning Goryu and Happo-one are both reporting 20cm of fresh and Hakuba 47 is reporting 15cm. That's all higher up.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to bring you biggest numbers tomorrow - and the first few days of the new year are also looking good for snow.
Come on, let's have it!
Have a safe and fun New Year's Eve.
Bai-bai 2025.
