Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 33cm
Posted on Saturday 4th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Morning from Hakuba.
Bit of a dusting of (wet) snow down close to base areas. I am being kind and awarding 1cm to the report to encourage more! Ski areas are reporting 5-10cm on the mountain. It doesn't feel particularly cold this morning and it will be relatively mild day. That might mean the current snow turning into rain. But let's hope not.
Expect some sun tomorrow, and continued mild temperatures in the coming week.
Hakuba 47 is back to being almost fully open for the weekend - and hopefully this time they will remain open during the week. Terrain wise, that is the place that has the most open.
