Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 751cm
Posted on Friday 7th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
There was a thin layer of snow on the top of my car this morning (already gone).
Check below for what ski areas are reporting, but let me just comment on Hakuba Cortina.
Hakuba Cortina this morning is saying on the official site that it has 30cm of fresh snowfall. (Sounds great!) At the same time, it is saying 20-25cm on it's Facebook page. I suppose one may be correct. Though all admittedly sound appealing when other ski areas are reporting much less.
Tsugaike ski area says "there was snowfall, but the wind is blowing it away".
What does seem to be the case is that there was more snowfall to the north (Otari) than in Hakuba and Omachi regions to the south.
Anyway, it all sounds worth investigating and should be a fine morning to be out on the slopes. There is some blue sky and sunshine amongst the clouds.
(The top quad lift at Happo-one should be opening again from 10am this morning).
