Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 6cm Snowfall at base this season 730cm Posted on Sunday 23rd February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Good morning from Hakuba. Cortina this morning 'wins' the most reported snowfall award with 15cm. Other main ski areas seem to be going with 5-10cm since yesterday. It is a good morning to investigate with a mix of cloud and clearer skies in places. There may be some more snow through tomorrow but we can expect generally clearer and sunny weather Tuesday onwards. It won't be as cold, either.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 1408cm Posted on Saturday 22nd February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Glad I’m reporting a little late today (another day not getting up super early to plow; busy start to the day anyway; other good excuses), because the snow has started to come down, just as the morning TV reports were saying. Looks like we could get a pretty good fall; the TV weather reports were talking in terms of 50cm+. We’re ready! Kind of.... seems like we get things under control around buildings and along the street just in time for the next dump and another round of snow throwing. It’s about this time that the locals start thinking about those green days of summer that seem almost impossible with all the snow on the ground. Actually, it’s pretty schizophrenic for everyone here: the forests up the mountains are so green and deep and even jungle-y in summer that we can hardly remember the snow walls and cold (and plowing); in winter, you can’t imagine green trees and the ability to see things horizontally, not obstructed by four-meter walls of snow. I think that’s why we sometimes get skeptical about outside ideas of massive development, because, like many who bought properties here (especially during the last two low snow years), they will be overwhelmed by this much snow, and the simple reality of having to deal with it just to get out and do the normal things of life. Even as I’m writing the snowfall has really picked up, so visibility is almost as bad as a dense fog. But it’s still amazing, unlike anything else people are going to experience. We only had a dusting of snow this morning, so that's all I'll report now, and give a total tomorrow.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . We’ve got a little sun, and very little new snow, welcome break for your tired snow removal teams. The sun is shining, although through some thin clouds. Clouds are also swirling around Mt. Myoko again; could be snowing up there on the hill, although the summit does peek out at times. The morning weather reports do have snow forecast all through the day for Niigata. It’s not here yet, or perhaps our status as a part of Shin-Etsu—a bit of Niigata sticking into and surrounded by Nagano—kind of puts us a long way from Niigata City and the weather that’s happening in the rest of the prefecture. I have to apologize for a bit of fumbled typing yesterday; I saw that I had initially entered “211” rather than “21” for the total snowfall in cm; I thought I corrected it, but I think I hit the laptop trackpad and out went the inflated figure. No, we did not get 211cm of fresh; thanks to MP-san and others who quickly sent a note to see if I was buried in snow.... Almost, but not due to one day’s snowfall.

Then again, the sun seems to be trying to break through in places. So a mix of weather going on out there this morning. Forecasts tell us to expect more snow across the next few days, particularly tomorrow. Tomorrow is actually the start of a long weekend here in Japan as Monday is The Emperor's Birthday Holiday. Much clearer skies - and milder conditions - are due from Tuesday. -------------------------------- ABLE Hakuba Goryu New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 490cm Top: 240cm ------------ Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park New snowfall (reported as 'todays snowfall' by the ski area): Top: 5cm Base: 0cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 515cm Base: 260cm ------------ Hakuba Cortina New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 3cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 455cm ------------ Hakuba Happo-one New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 0cm Usagidaira (1400m): 0cm Nakiyama (800m): 0cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 650cm Usagidaira (1400m): 335cm Nakiyama (800m): 210cm ------------ Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field New snowfall (reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 5cm Village Side: 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 370cm Village Side: 180cm ------------ Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 490cm ------------ Jigatake New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 15cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 220cm ------------ Kashimayari Skijo Family Park Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 250cm ------------ Tsugaike Mountain Resort Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Upper: 396cm Base: 187cm ------------ White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 250cm Hakuba Now 2024-2025 season Data as Friday 21st February 2025 Total snowfall at base so far 720cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 59 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 165cm reported on 16 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.
