Posted on Tuesday 3rd February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
Calmer conditions yesterday with a largely cloudy day and some light snow falling at times.
A bit more snow this morning. Looks like it has been one of those days where more snow fallen to the north. Cortina is reporting 10-15cm 'near the mountain top', other ski areas not so much.
It was snowing earlier on but has eased off now down here and we do expect some clearer skies, though the mountains still have a fair bit of cloud covering them.
Wednesday and Thursday should bring us some clear skies from early on. It is also going to be milder. Let us hope not too mild. I have been enjoying the cold of late.
Looking a bit further ahead there should be a return to cold and snow as the weekend gets started.
