Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 4cm Snowfall at base this season 563cm Posted on Tuesday 4th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . A modest amount of snowfall so far. It is snowing lightly now, and generally looks like limited visibility up on the slopes (though down here in the village I can see the shape of the sun through the clouds). We're still expecting heavy snow. And, if forecasts are right, consistently heavy snow over a period of several+ days. Scary, almost! Let's see what Nature brings us. It need not be noted, but with so much snow forecast, we really do need to be super careful whilst enjoying it all. There'll be no need to go looking for it... it's all going to be there in front of you on the ski areas. -------------------------------- ABLE Hakuba Goryu New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 10cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 380cm Top: 170cm ------------ Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park New snowfall (reported as 'todays snowfall' by the ski area): Top: 10cm Base: 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 375cm Base: 190cm ------------ Hakuba Cortina New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 10cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 370cm ------------ Hakuba Happo-one New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 15cm Usagidaira (1400m): 7cm Nakiyama (800m): 0cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 435cm Usagidaira (1400m): 278cm Nakiyama (800m): 150cm ------------ Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field New snowfall (reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 10cm Village Side: 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 310cm Village Side: 160cm ------------ Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 380cm ------------ Jigatake New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 170cm ------------ Kashimayari Skijo Family Park Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 210cm ------------ Tsugaike Mountain Resort Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Upper: 301cm Base: 117cm ------------ White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 180cm Hakuba Now 2024-2025 season Data as Tuesday 4th February 2025 Total snowfall at base so far 563cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 46 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 38cm (28th December) November 2024 snowfall 42cm reported on 3 days December 2024 snowfall 278cm reported on 21 days January 2025 snowfall 235cm reported on 19 days February 2025 snowfall 8cm 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 Hakuba.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . I was not able to get outside yesterday, but I heard of various lift disruption due to the weather conditions. There might be some more of that again today, and I can see the top lifts at Happo-one are on hold at the start of the day. This morning ski areas seem to be reporting another 10-20cm on the mountain since yesterday. (Cortina shows 60cm on the official site with a timestamp of today, but I am guessing that is just left over from yesterday and so I'm going with ? for that). Light snow still but it should be finishing up sometime today. Tomorrow we might get some sunshine with not much chance of further snow over the weekend. I'm liking the look of next week. It looks like there's lots more snow on the way. -------------------------------- ABLE Hakuba Goryu New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 20cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 390cm Top: 175cm ------------ Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park New snowfall (reported as 'todays snowfall' by the ski area): Top: 15cm Base: 10cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 385cm Base: 185cm ------------ Hakuba Cortina New snowfall (reported by the ski area): ?cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 370cm ------------ Hakuba Happo-one New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): ?cm Usagidaira (1400m): 15cm Nakiyama (800m): 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 440cm Usagidaira (1400m): 290cm Nakiyama (800m): 165cm ------------ Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field New snowfall (reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 20cm Village Side: 20cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 330cm Village Side: 170cm ------------ Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 385cm ------------ Jigatake New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 175cm ------------ Kashimayari Skijo Family Park Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 210cm ------------ Tsugaike Mountain Resort Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Upper: 331cm Base: 123cm ------------ White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 180cm Hakuba Now 2024-2025 season Data as Friday 31st January 2025 Total snowfall at base so far 555cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 43 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 38cm (28th December) November 2024 snowfall 42cm reported on 3 days December 2024 snowfall 278cm reported on 21 days January 2025 snowfall 235cm reported on 19 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.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Well, I suppose the headline this morning has to be the 30cm of fresh snowfall that Hakuba Cortina is reporting this morning. That number stands out with other ski areas to the south, which are reporting much less. Weather maps do indeed seem to indicate that the northern regions of Otari got considerably more than Hakuba Village overnight, and even less to the south in Omachi. Not a totally uncommon pattern. Omoshiroi ne. Still, great to see '30cm' appear again. I was getting used to it! I'm a bit surprised at the low or non existent numbers from some ski areas, see list below. I have myself measured 3cm since last night. Right now it is quite sunny around base; less so higher up on the mountains. But variable, depending on where you find yourself.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 1cm Posted on Tuesday 19th November 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Woo-hooo! It's only a little bit, but it's hard not to get excited about having snow on the car roof this morning down here near base. In places, even around bases of ski areas, it's more like just a dusting - and there doesn't seem to be that much snow even higher up on the mountains - but I can just about justify the first cm of the season for this report. May there be many hundreds more! Still a lot of cloud around but some blue sky is appearing too. We can perhaps expect more of that as the morning progresses. Forecasts show the next snow to be with us later Friday.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this season 10cm Posted on Friday 29th November 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Good morning from Hakuba. Yes, this is very good. It's snowing this morning and there's a good 5-10cm of snow accumulated across base areas - and no doubt a fair bit more than that at higher elevations. What's more, it's snowing nicely right now too. All being well, we'll get a fair amount more through today and into tomorrow. Ski areas will be bata-bata busy and (hopefully) ready to make some big decisions soon. If I hear anything of note during the day, I'll update this report. -------------------------------- Update at 9:30am: Hakuba 47 is reporting over 60cm of snow up top and around 18cm at base. Tsugaike is reporting 40+cm. Sounds great to me! More, more, more...! -------------------------------- Update at 5:45pm: What a fine day it has been! There will be lots of snow to report tomorrow morning, but for now I just want to share the news that Tsugaike Mountain Resort, ABLE Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba Happo-one have all announced that they will be opening from tomorrow morning, Saturday 30th November. Hurray! Tsugaike plans to be open from 8am. An adult ticket from the ticket window will be 5,500 yen for the day. Goryu plans to open from 10am with the top Panorama run available. An adult ticket is yours for the day at the handsome sum of 7,500 yen (!) including 500 yen returnable. Happo-one plans to open from 11am with the top Panorama run available. An adult ticket is 4,000 yen. At all three, you will need to ride the gondola up to the ski run that is open. As of 5:45pm, there is no news yet from Hakuba 47 and I have to sign off for the day. Please note that my report tomorrow morning might be a bit late as there is a lot of information to gather. But don't worry, it's all good news. (Well, perhaps apart from some alarmingly rapid price increases!) -------------------------------- Below are the planned opening dates for ski areas around Hakuba. All are of course subject to change and depend on snowfall.
