Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this season 60cm

Posted on Sunday 5th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Great news this morning.


The biggest haul of fresh snow being reported by Cortina - 50cm; 25-30cm being reported on upper slopes across other resort mountains and I am measuring 16cm down by base.


So conditions should be excellent up there this morning.


And I think that's enough for today. I hope you can get to enjoy it!


Oh yes, one more thing I have noticed - you can now ski back down to base at Hakuba Goryu, as they open the Champion Dynamic and Woody courses.
