Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 555cm
Posted on Friday 31st January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
I was not able to get outside yesterday, but I heard of various lift disruption due to the weather conditions. There might be some more of that again today, and I can see the top lifts at Happo-one are on hold at the start of the day.
This morning ski areas seem to be reporting another 10-20cm on the mountain since yesterday.
(Cortina shows 60cm on the official site with a timestamp of today, but I am guessing that is just left over from yesterday and so I'm going with ? for that).
Light snow still but it should be finishing up sometime today.
Tomorrow we might get some sunshine with not much chance of further snow over the weekend.
I'm liking the look of next week. It looks like there's lots more snow on the way.
