Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 224cm
Posted on Sunday 9th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It's a kind of relatively mild feeling to the morning and most ski areas reporting up to 5cm of snow. (Happo-one are the odd man out this morning, reporting a much larger 30cm from the Kurobishi area. Not sure what the story is there, but I'd like to find out. And perhaps I will!)
This morning we had some light snow falling but that has since stopped in some areas, though I see that it is still falling lazily in others. There's just a light wind and visibility is pretty decent generally.
OK so we might get some sun today and tomorrow at times but we should be back to proper decent snowfall from Tuesday night. Looks like another storm might be on the way!
