Good morning from Hakuba on this last day of the 2024-2025 season.

Greetings from Hakuba on this Children's Day national holiday.

We are now into the last four days of the official ski season here in Hakuba.

After some strong winds yesterday that ended up messing up with multiple lifts and stuff, today should be much more pleasant and pleasing.

Well, after fine weather yesterday, looking forward to sunshine again this morning. It is fine, with cloud, but kind of dull. Early on, anyway.

Ski area information for Friday 18th April 2025.

We had some light rain earlier but thankfully that has finished up and there is a bit of sun shining through clouds now.

Some mixed weather early on this morning, with a bank of cloud around the mountains... but blue sky and sun at upper areas.

We have received some fresh snowfall. It seems to have started around 3am and there was about 3cm on my car a little earlier.

Light blue skies this morning and another warm day ahead of us. It warmed up to nearly 15C in the village yesterday and Hakuba 47 were reporting 8C at 1450m as of 3pm.

It has been a lovely morning. Fine blue skies and sunshine. Roads are completely dry, though there is some snow to report since yesterday.

New snowfall into double digits this morning after starting to accumulate overnight and ski areas reporting up to 20cm of fresh out there. Excellent.

As I write this the roads are dry and the sun is out, but I do have some snow to report from yesterday.

This morning 47 and Goryu are both reporting up to 20cm of fresh snow at higher elevations.
