Snowfall at base this season 443cm
Posted on Wednesday 6th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
I'm enjoying having to keep on increasing those snow depth numbers in the list below. Yes, more snow to report this morning - up to 20cm on upper sections of ski areas. It feels like a relatively mild morning but it shouldn't change (ie get warmer) much during the day.
Right now it is snowing lightly and just over 0C.
Great to see some potentially heavy snow due Friday and Saturday too.
Weird season! (Although, I suppose they all are in their own way...)
It seems like there is some kind of electric power cut in places this morning. Looks like it is around the Happo area. Unclear to me right now how that might affect ski area, but some lifts seem at least delayed at the start of the day.
