Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 11cm Snowfall at base this season 413cm Posted on Friday 6th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . A good 10cm down at base since yesterday. Always great to see fresh snow on the ground and it kind of feels more special now with the season being as it is. The resort is reporting 15cm up top since yesterday afternoon. Some warm temperatures lined up for Monday and Tuesday next week. (15C?! Yikes). It remains to be seen if this is the last snowfall of the season. Note: I'm saying that in part as a cheeky dare to Nature.... ;) I hold out the hope for more, particularly at higher elevations.

The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . Good morning. Fresh snow! And actually, quite a decent amount of it too. It took its time to get geared up yesterday but once it did conditions got pretty wild. This morning Yakebitaiyama are reporting 30cm (and 60cm over the last two days), Kumanoyu are reporting 20cm and my enthusiastic friend (code name: bless him!) is saying 40cm. Whatever the number, take the lowest, there's a decent amount of fresh snow on the slopes this morning! :) It is still snowing (light to moderate depending on area) but perhaps easing off later this morning. Clearer weather is due tomorrow too so conditions should remain very good even if it is a bit milder. All areas and connections at Shiga Kogen are now open (with just a few minor exceptions).

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 3cm Snowfall at base this season 182cm Posted on Friday 6th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Good morning from Hakuba. I can add a bit more snow since yesterday morning and there are varying numbers being reported by the ski resorts. The biggest number this morning being reported is by the folks over at Tsugaike Kogen who say 25cm. Sounds good, that. Some very strong gusty windy conditions affected quite a few lifts during the day yesterday but operations seem more normal this morning. With access to the mountains this morning and the fresh snow conditions it should be good. It is a cold morning. There is a lot of cloud around still - and seemingly limited visibility in some upper areas - but some blue sky too and a good chance that things will clear up. After the cold morning today it does look like we can expect a return to milder conditions tomorrow with a day or two of real warmth mid week. Let's deal with that later. For now, there's fresh snow to enjoy! ----- Hakuba Happo-one Operating lifts: - All lifts apart from the lifts noted below are normally operating: - Nakiyama Number 2 pair - Shirakaba Number 1 pair - Shirakaba Number 2 pair - Central pair - Sakka Number 2 pair - Sakka Number 3 triple Courses open: - All courses apart from the following are at least part open: - Central - Olympic II - Kita-one - Kokusai - Nakiyama Wall/North - Shirakaba North - Sakka - Kurobishi - Omusubi - Nakiyama South and Shirakaba South base areas are open; others closed - You can also take the Gondola or other lifts back down to base Official snow depth: - Kurobishi: 195cm - Usagidaira: 135cm - Nakiyama: 70cm Hakuba 47 All lifts apart from the lifts noted below are normally operating: - Pair Line D (usually only operates when Gondola not operating) Courses open: - All main courses now open - Tree Riding Zones: upper area part open Official snow depth: - Top: 165cm - Base: 50cm Hakuba Goryu Operating lifts: - All lifts are normally operating Courses open: - All courses are open now apart from the following: - Cosmo River - Straight Whiskey - Snow Diving - Adventure Official snow depth: - Alps: 185cm - Toomi: 65cm - Iimori: 50cm Tsugaike Kogen Official snow depth: - Tsuga-no-mori: 210cm - Maruyama: 45cm - Kane-no-naru-oka: 40cm - All course areas apart from Uma-no-se and Lower Forest course are at least part open - Lower Kane-no-naru and Champion areas are part open - DBD gates: Gates 1 and 2 open; reporting 25cm of fresh snow Hakuba Cortina Official snow depth & info: - Top: 190cm - Base: 90cm - Most courses open Hakuba Valley Kashimayari Official snow depth & info: - Top: 95cm - Most courses open Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth & info: - Top: 80cm - All courses open Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field Official snow depth & info: - Top: 105cm - Part open Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth & info: - Top: 55cm - All courses open Jigatake - Top: 10cm - Closed Hakuba Now 2019-2020 season Data as of Friday 6th March 2020 Total snowfall at base so far 182cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 33 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 16cm (5th January) November 2019 snowfall 4cm reported on 1 day December 2019 snowfall 28cm reported on 8 days January 2020 snowfall 70cm reported on 13 days February 2020 snowfall 73cm reported on 9 days March 2020 snowfall 7cm reported on 2 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Hakuba.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata New snowfall at base 7cm Snowfall at base this season 358cm Posted on Friday 6th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here . Hello from Naeba. Fresh snowfall news this morning, hurray!! The resort is reporting 10cm of fresh snowfall at base and 20cm higher up. Down here at base I can see 5-10cm. It's difficult to put a number on it with all the wind over the last day or so. But I think 7cm is probably reasonable. It may not be as windy as yesterday but still quite windy with the lifts noted below on hold at the start of the day. The snow is due to ease off and perhaps we will get clearer skies by this afternoon. Hopefully less wind and those lifts might get moving. Clearer skies are forecast tomorrow and temperatures gradually getting back to being mild again. With the fresh snow though conditions should be decent for the weekend, especially tomorrow. ----------------------------------- Official snow depth: - 90cm Planned operating lifts: - Prince Number 2 Gondola - Takenokodaira romance pair lift - Takenokoyama romance pair lift ** ON HOLD - Number 4 romance pair lift - Number 3 high speed lift - Number 5 high speed lift (open for nighta until 8:30pm) - Hiuchi Number 1 romance pair lift ** ON HOLD - Dragondola ** ON HOLD Courses planned to be open: - 19 of 22 courses are normally open, depending on lift operation --- Planned lift operations from 16th March 2020: - Prince Number 2 Gondola - Number 5 high speed lift - Takenokodaira pair lift Naeba Now 2019-2020 season Data as of Friday 6th March 2020 Total snowfall at base so far 358cm Number of days snowfall observed 42 days Most snowfall observed on 1 day 36cm (reported on 11th February) November 2019 snowfall 19cm observed on 5 days December 2019 snowfall 58cm observed on 9 days January 2020 snowfall 118cm observed on 12 days February 2020 snowfall 156cm observed on 15 days March 2020 snowfall 7cm observed on 1 day Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Naeba.

The latest Madarao Now report can be found here . Morning. OK so fresh snow to report. The resort is reporting 10cm and I can add 9cm as my personal measurement. It would have been good to get more but it is better than none. And it should be fun out there this morning; things are very quiet now (thanks to what's on the news headlines...) We are expecting gradually warmer temperatures starting tomorrow and peaking around Tuesday when temps might get into (low) double digits. It does look like it will get somewhat colder again beyond that from Wednesday - perhaps we can hold out for a bit more 'winter' then?

The resort is reporting 33cm of fresh snowfall since yesterday morning with 20cm of that overnight. That sounds about right. It kind of feels like winter again! Regarding the tree runs. I have spoken with someone at the resort and they make the final decision about that around 8:30am. So my report is usually too early to cover that. If you are here, you should check with them at the start of your day. It looks like all but the Extreme tree run course should be open today.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 674cm Posted on Thursday 5th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here OK so this morning it is feeling pretty mild, there is some snow on the ground - I am measuring 5cm - we have windy conditions and limited visibility. At the start of the day, all top lifts are on hold, as are all three gondolas. At the moment almost all other lifts are moving but it's not the most friendly of conditions. That lift situation may well change and so if you are planning on venturing out, an advanced check is highly recommended. Extra caution needed. I would like to make mention that the Avalanche Report below is reporting 20cm of fresh, as is Niseko Grand Hirafu for upper levels. So it sounds like there's a fair bit more up top than down here low. ----- Niseko Avalanche Report Mountain base: 0℃, 20cm snowfall in 12h. Moiwa 800m: SSE 158°4.3m/s, -2.1℃, storm. Annupuri 1100m: SE 121°9.6m/s, -4.6℃. Yu no sawa: S 162°5.1m/s, -4.2℃. Village 900m: SE 138°7.1m/s, -3.5℃. Hirafu 1000m: S 174°11m/s, -4.3℃. Hanazono 720m: S 176°5.6m/s, -2.4℃. Sea of Japan Benkei cape: S13m/s, Kamui cape: E 3m/s, 1003hPa, 0.6m waves. Stormy condition due to a passing low-pressure system. A southerly wind picked up at night, 15+m/s gust is blowing above 1000m elevation. Heavy snowdrifts are drastically developing up to 1m thickness in places and are extremely unstable. The avalanche risk is extremely high today. High elevation gates will be kept closed. The snow below 400m elevation is wet but unaffected by the wind. Lower elevation gates may open, however sun-affected, east/south/west aspect, slopes can slide from Feb 29th layer at 20-30cm thickness. Caution is required in open steep slopes, knolls and under cornices. Do not stay put in gully terrain. Naturally triggered avalanche of 20cm thickness has been observed in 500m SW facing slope. It may not be a deep slide, but runs fast and snow is heavy. Hazardous conditions is forecasted to go on until tomorrow. Please be careful. ----- Niseko Grand Hirafu Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 310cm - Base: 120cm All lifts are normally operating EXCEPT: - Ace Number 1 pair lift (normally rested) - King Number 2 quad lift (normally rested) Lifts scheduled for late operations: - Ace Family quad until 8:30pm - Ace Number 2 Center Four quad until 8:20pm - Hirafu Gondola until 8:10pm - Holiday Number 1 pair until 8:30pm ----- Niseko HANAZONO Resort Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 215cm - Base: 130cm All lifts are normally operating ----- Niseko Annupuri Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 185cm - Base: 110cm All lifts are normally operating Lift scheduled for late operations: - Jumbo Number 1 quad until 8:30pm ----- Niseko Village Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 190cm - Base: 110cm All lifts normally operating EXCEPT: - Country Road Chair (normally rested) Lifts scheduled for late operations: - Annupuri Village Gondola until 8:00pm - Village Express until 8:00pm - Banzai Chair until 8:00pm Niseko Now 2019-2020 season Data as of Thursday 5th March 2020 Total snowfall at base so far 674cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 73 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 33cm (21st January) November 2019 snowfall 85cm reported on 10 days December 2019 snowfall 207cm reported on 21 days January 2020 snowfall 224cm reported on 20 days February 2020 snowfall 143cm reported on 19 days March 2020 snowfall 15cm reported on 3 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Kutchan/Niseko.

Since first going online in 1999, the integrity of this website has always been our top priority, and it is something we are not prepared to compromise. All content is carefully created and written by humans who share a passion for the subject and what SnowJapan stands for. About SnowJapan.com About the daily reporting on SnowJapan.com
