Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 34cm
Snowfall at base this season 241cm
Posted on Wednesday 3rd January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
I'll try to keep it short and get this out there.
Fresh snowfall reported by the resorts:
Hakuba Goryu: 30-45cm
Hakuba Happo-one: 40cm
Hakuba 47: 20-40cm
Hakuba Cortina; 30+cm
And I have 34cm to add to the report.
Nice.
What is less nice is the strong winds which are affecting lift operations. I have updated info below but basically top lifts are being affected.
Still, the storm is bringing us some fresh snow which is a good thing.
If you brave the weather today. Be prepared. Take care.
