Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 353cm

Posted on Wednesday 5th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


The snow has started.


Lovely weather conditions yesterday in Hakuba with blue skies in the morning; it started to get overcast and cloudy later after lunchtime and by the time it got dark it was all grey.


Snow to report overnight. Resorts saying they have up to 5-10cm fresh out there and it is snowing now. Rather wet and not really sticking big time here in the village at the moment as it is keeping quite mild. Limited visibility on the slopes.


The forecast remains hopeful of some decent snow ahead of us. It should be colder tomorrow and snowing. I hope I can bring news of fresh delivery of quality snow tomorrow morning.
