Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 268cm
Posted on Saturday 8th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Nice light snow to report this morning. -5C and snowing.
OK so perhaps not as much as I'd like to report - generally around 5cm at base and 10cm on upper slopes being reported (15cm at Hakuba 47), but it is still snowing so we should be on for more during the daytime today. Hopefully lots. I somehow feel there'll be more up there than what has been reported this morning. It will be piling up nicely this morning filling in those tracks as they get made.
Wind doesn't seem to be an issue at all this morning and all resorts appear to be open as planned at time of writing. Recuded visibility of course due to the snow coming down.
Tomorrow we might see continued snow but it looks like today is the main event this weekend snow-wise.
So get ready for the snow and take care out there. I know I will be sampling it all in about 30 minutes time, can't wait.
Have a good one.
Oh yes, this morning the new Hakuba Valley Logo is going to be unveiled at 10am. Exciting stuff. If they let us, we'll post in a report soon!
