Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 378cm
Posted on Thursday 9th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It was snowing in the afternoon yesterday - some nice big flakes actually - when I was up at 47, and we do have some fresh snow down to base this morning.
As I write this, the sun is breaking through some clouds and there is some blue sky away from the mountains, but it is also snowing. (It's really cool when that happens).
Visibility up on the mountains looks quite limited in places and it is likely snowing more up there.
Ski areas themselves are reporting modest amounts of snowfall, the most coming in from Hakuba Cortina who report up to 20cm of fresh.
Right now it is just under -3C and feels colder. Hopefully we will get a bit more snow before the weekend, which is currently forecast to be sunny.
