Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 44cm
Posted on Saturday 4th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Cortina are reporting 30cm of fresh snowfall, Tsugaike appear to be reporting 40cm and Hakuba Goryu are reporting 30cm. These numbers are more like it!
Less so down in the base areas of course, which is where I report from, but a bunch of new cm. Head up to the mountains though and conditions should be very nice this morning.
The Kitaone 3 pair lift at Happo-one is open this morning and it seems the Kitaone course is now available.
I'll leave it at that for today. Oh yes, we should be on for more snowfall tonight.
Hope you have a fine day.
