Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 460cm

Posted on Wednesday 9th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Early this morning there were some beautiful shades of pink and blue and now there is some cloud around the mountains but a lot of blue sky and sunshine.


The only new snow being reported this morning is 4cm by Hakuba Cortina. I thought there might be some reported from other ski areas as it does seem to have been snowing in the dark, but no. There's a thin icy dusting thing going on the road outside my place. It's still keeping cold so with the good weather, spectacular scenery and good snow, it should be another very fine day.


Currently forecasts are for cloud and some snow during the day tomorrow.
