Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 8cm Snowfall at base this season 667cm Posted on Tuesday 11th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Yep, lots more snow. Not a huge amount down at base, but ski areas are yet again reporting 30+cm on the mountain. Official snow depth numbers at 47 and Goryu now both hitting 5m. Right now it is snowing outside but I can see some hints of blue sky up on upper webcams of Goryu. May well be temporary with limited to poor visibility in other areas. There's more possibly heavy snow due going into Thursday. But beyond that it does look like the snow might ease off. We may even get to enjoy some clearer and sunny weather at the weekend. That would be a treat! In the meantime, super care required with all the snow out there.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 399cm Posted on Tuesday 11th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here . Good Morning Skiers and Boarders, Like so many times this season, a promising snow dies out in a few hours. Sigh. Only 5 cm of new stuff today. Better than nuttin', I suppose, but not by much. Today is a national holiday celebrating the founding of Japan, hence translated as Foundation Day. I'm sure they're not alluding to the Isaac Asimov books, but what if they were?? Anyway, for your edification from Wikipedia: "February 11 is the accession date of the legendary first Emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu at Kashihara-gū, converted into Gregorian calendar of 660 BC." So Japan, as an entity is only 2,685 years old. Take THAT to the bank you European and European-derived upstart countries!! Due to the national holiday, night skiing will run to 7:30 PM. Also, tomorrow night is the annual Mid-Winter Beer Party. All-you-can-drink beer. Need I say more? That should draw in the hordes. Oh, also taiko drumming, local food, and a raffle with some great prizes. Think snow.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . A little later report today (after powder on green runs yesterday!), and pleased to say that all the resorts have new information up! Must have been reading SnowJapan.... I'd like to think it was the power of the press, but I kind of doubt that. More snow again, with lots of beautiful snowflake-shaped flakes coming down. A few flakes are still coming down, but very light. The sun is even starting to come through a thin cloud layer... Which would help bring down the slabs of snow on the roofs. It really has been cohesive snow, sliding off in big blocks. Just hope it doesn’t do the same thing up on the mountain! It’s not the end of the snow, though, as more is forecast today and tomorrow and later in the week as well.

We measured 30 cm of fresh, light snow this morning, and Gondola 2 has opened as scheduled. Both Dragondola and the Tashiro area of Kagura are closed today. Since tomorrow is a public holiday, many have a long weekend, so we can expect busy slopes today. Visibility is fair at the base but poor at higher elevations. We've seen many people ducking the ropes, venturing into unknown areas, and getting stuck in deep snow - please don’t do this. As many black runs as possible are open while maintaining safety, but there are still deep cracks hidden beneath the snow in prohibited zones. Be cautious of inexperienced riders attempting to navigate deep snow.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 659cm Posted on Monday 10th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . No so much snow since yesterday morning, actually. As you can see below, 0-10cm is being reported across the ski areas. We are used to so much more! ;) Is that the chance of some sunshine I see on forecasts for tomorrow afternoon? I think it is! Not before more snow tonight, though. OK just for fun, and so you don't have to look yourself, here are the 'total accumulated snowfall' numbers at the 10 ski areas in 'the valley', as on the official Hakuba Valley website, as of today. I have put them in order of snowfall: Hakuba Happo-one: 1083cm ABLE Hakuba Goryu: 915cm Hakuba Cortina: 882cm Hakuba 47: 821cm Hakuba Norikura: 820cm Hakuba Sanosaka: 731cm Jigatake: 451cm Hakuba Iwatake: 421cm Kashimayari: 306cm Tsugaike: 264cm Note: it is not specified where each ski area takes their measurement. Obviously, that Tsugaike number is incorrect as it should be up there near the top. Some of the others seem suspiciously low too, considering the snowfall we have got this season. I'll revisit that later in the season. Currently about -3.5C in the village. -------------------------------- ABLE Hakuba Goryu New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 10cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Top: 495cm Top: 225cm ------------ 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: 490cm Base: 260cm ------------ Hakuba Cortina New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 460cm ------------ Hakuba Happo-one New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 10cm Usagidaira (1400m): 10cm Nakiyama (800m): 5cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Kurobushi (1680m): 600cm Usagidaira (1400m): 334cm Nakiyama (800m): 225cm ------------ Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field New snowfall (reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 0cm Village Side: 0cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Mountain Side: 380cm Village Side: 190cm ------------ Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 490cm ------------ Jigatake New snowfall (reported by the ski area): 10cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 230cm ------------ Kashimayari Skijo Family Park Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 245cm ------------ Tsugaike Mountain Resort Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Upper: 385cm Base: 169cm ------------ White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): 265cm Hakuba Now 2024-2025 season Data as Monday 10th February 2025 Total snowfall at base so far 659cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 52 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 104cm reported on 9 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.
