Posted on Saturday 9th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
An early report today as your reporter needs to get into Nagano City this morning.
I'm glad it's an easy one. After a cloudy day with snow on and off yesterday, this morning it is blue skies and the sun is out! A few clouds nestling up to the peaks of the mountains early on this morning but I'd day it is going to be a beautiful day today. It was very cold overnight in Hakuba and right now it is still around -9 degrees here in the village near the base of Happo and there is just a slight wind. It will likely remain in the negatives all day.
Rounding up the numbers from the resorts that are in so far - Cortina reporting 20cm of fresh snow this morning. 1cm at Hakuba 47 both up top and down at base. (One day I hope they report 47cm of new snow. Heck, every day please!) Again looks like the deepest fresh conditions will be found in the northerly resorts, but it should be a fun fun weekend everywhere. Hope you can enjoy it... more chance of snowfall later on tomorrow.
