Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 12cm Snowfall at base this season 41cm Posted on Friday 24th November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Hello from Hakuba and it's a snowy morning here. I am measuring 12cm of fresh snow on the ground and I noticed that Hakuba 47 are reporting up to 20cm in their base area. Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions this morning the Happo-one resort - reporting over 20cm of snowfall on upper slopes - will remain closed today. And this morning I also have some updates from Tsugaike Kogen. They planned on opening yesterday but that rain we had didn't help with the snow base and so they postponed opening. There's no word yet early this morning, but I expect they will get some lifts moving as soon as they can. The forecast is good for snow through the day today and hopefully tonight too, so I should have more fresh numbers to report tomorrow morning. Clearer weather is forecast into early next week and perhaps some sunshine too. Already started their season: Hakuba Happo-one Closed today due to weather and snow conditions. Hakuba Goryu The Hakuba Goryu gondola and Alps Number 1 pair lift are operating. The top Panorama course is open. Hakuba 47 Line E is available to ski and board, but access is via the Hakuba Goryu gondola - no access via the Hakuba 47 base.

The latest Niseko Now report can be found here I think I used the word 'wow' yesterday, so I feel somewhat unoriginal using it again but... wow! Being unoriginal in November is a little concerning, though in this case, it's good news...! This really is turning up to be an impressive start to the winter season and I can't quite remember such a start. But long may that continue. With the continued snowfall during the day yesterday, this morning I have another 21cm of fresh snowfall here at base to add to the report. We're still looking at a good chance of milder conditions and rain tomorrow. (Booo). Beyond that though, the forecast is looking very nice still. Fantastic. I love being able to bring great news. --- Planned season dates: Niseko Grand Hirafu: Thursday 23rd November 2017 until Sunday 6th May 2018 Niseko Annupuri: Saturday 25th November 2017 until Sunday 6th May 2018 Niseko Village: Friday 1st December 2017 until Sunday 8th April 2018 Niseko Hanazono: Saturday 2nd December 2017 until Sunday 8th April 2018 Floodlit 'nighta' skiing schedule: Saturday 9th December 2017 until Sunday 18th March 2018 Niseko Now 2017-2018 season Data as of Tuesday 21st November 2017 Total snowfall at base so far 102cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 6 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 29cm (20th November) November 2017 snowfall 102cm reported on 6 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.

I'm measuring 16cm; Kumanoyu are reporting 10cm of fresh on their slopes and my friend is reporting a whopping 30cm. I'm sure sometimes he builds it up and measures that. ;) Still just part of Kumanoyu is open (Number 2 pair lifts servicing a 600m long course), but I would not be surprised to see more lifts moving soon.

The latest Zao Now report can be found here . I was just reading some of the other reports to see how they were doing... it looks like Japan is having a very nice early season. 18cm of fresh snow to report to you this morning here in Zao and snow is still falling. I don't have official news regarding ski lifts starting to move, though there are whispers of a Saturday (25th) opening. With more snow due around Friday, I'd say it was a possibility.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 18cm Snowfall at base this season 61cm Posted on Tuesday 21st November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Well, it's still pre-season, it's still some time until the lifts are moving, but we're still getting snow. In the interest of an accurate database, it's time for another update, as we have another 18cm on the ground today. The freezing line looks like it's going to head up the mountain again tomorrow, so rain is forecast, but there might be some more snowfall later in the week. Fun if it hangs on so we could get some early openings, or, if nothing else, a good solid base to start the season.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 23cm Snowfall at base this season 29cm Posted on Tuesday 21st November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Update at 10:30am Season In! Happo-one were reporting 60cm of snowfall on the mountain this morning and they opened at 9:30am with the Kokusai Number 1 and 3 lifts operating. A special lift ticket price of 2600 yen for adults and 1000 yen for children is available. Hakuba 47 were reporting 40-50cm of snowfall on the mountain with up to 60cm up top. (Apologies for my excited mistaken comment earlier one - the Alps Number 1 lift is of course a Hakuba Goryu lift, not a Hakuba 47 lift. I have edited that below). So the Hakuba Goryu gondola and Alps Number 1 pair lift are operating this morning with the Panorama course available to slide down. I'm not hearing anything from Tsugaike yet. Original morning report What a beautiful morning it is. The sun is out, there is a mix of blue sky and cloud and most importantly there is a lovely layer of fresh snow on the ground down to village. Our few measuring points tell us 23cm to add to the report with of course more than that higher up. And there's more... Happo-one are actually going to open today (Kokusai Number 1 and 3 lifts) at a still undetermined time but perhaps before lunch. And there's more... Hakuba Goryu are going to open today (top Alps Number 1 lift) at 10:30am. I want to get this report out quickly so I will be checking information again a little later this morning and updating this report, so do come back!

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 29cm Snowfall at base this season 81cm Posted on Monday 20th November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here Wow! I have another 29cm of fresh snowfall to report to you since yesterday. This really is a very nice run up to the lifts opening at Niseko Grand Hirafu on Thursday, which surely they will be able to do now. It is very likely that it will not continue being full-on winter from now on - we can expect some milder temperatures around Wednesday and Thursday - but still, very happy with how things are shaping up right now. Let's hope that we can avoid rain that might spoil the fun around mid-week... unfortunately it's there on the forecast at the moment. Still, even so fingers crossed it might be snowing at higher elevations. I think there'll be a lot of folk lining up for those first lifts in a few days. It will be fun to see how much can open too, no doubt we'll hear more about that around Wednesday. I will keep you posted, hopefully with news of further snow in my report tomorrow morning. --- Planned season dates: Niseko Grand Hirafu: Thursday 23rd November 2017 until Sunday 6th May 2018 Niseko Annupuri: Saturday 25th November 2017 until Sunday 6th May 2018 Niseko Village: Friday 1st December 2017 until Sunday 8th April 2018 Niseko Hanazono: Saturday 2nd December 2017 until Sunday 8th April 2018 Floodlit 'nighta' skiing schedule: Saturday 9th December 2017 until Sunday 18th March 2018 Niseko Now 2017-2018 season Data as of Monday 20th November 2017 Total snowfall at base so far 81cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 5 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 29cm (20th November) November 2017 snowfall 81cm reported on 5 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.
