Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 618cm

Posted on Friday 3rd April 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


There's lots of cloud around this on this very mild/warm morning with a bit of wind to add to the mix - hopefully that won't be affecting top lifts that are open.


No rain yet but it's forecast for this afternoon but we are expecting it to be fairly short-lived and the sun will probably be out again tomorrow and taking temps up to close on 20 degrees. Keep in mind to avoid overheating!


Back to rain from Sunday with an interesting potential dip in the temperatures around Tuesday when it might even feel chilly once again.


The pick of the coming weekend has to be Saturday.
