  • Hakuba Now: Saturday 4th January 2014

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 0cm Snowfall at base this season 199cm Posted on Saturday 4th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Good morning from Hakuba. So yes a lovely morning yesterday though thin high cloud started to form late morning and as darkness arrived it was cloudy conditions over Hakuba. The clouds didn't bring us much overnight though with just a dusting of snow and none of the resorts reporting more than 1cm. Foggy conditions early this morning - some top lifts at Happo-one were delayed due to foggy conditions, but just now as of 9am they seem to have started moving - and it is snowing. Fairly wet snow down in the village, hopefully better on higher elevations. It has been a relatively mild morning though and at the moment around -1C and should be getting colder as the day moves on. Just taking a look at the webcams from around town, it would seem that visibility is poor pretty much everywhere at the moment apart from the lowest base runs. Higher up, it looks as thick as a particularly thick blend of pea soup. (But not green; which is a relief). Cloud - maybe sun - forecast for tomorrow and perhaps a few days of such conditions beforer the next snowfall due around Wednesday. Tomorrow is the last day of the New Year for most people here in Japan. Hakuba has been very busy over the last week, as you would expect. From Monday, we'll be starting to get back to normal.

  • Hakuba Now: Thursday 2nd January 2014

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 40cm Snowfall at base this season 199cm Posted on Thursday 2nd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Wow. There's a lot of fresh snow here in Hakuba. To say the least! Here's the headlines from the resorts: Happo-one: 50cm (Usagidaira); 80cm (Kurobishi) Hakuba 47: 40-80cm Hakuba Goryu: 20-60cm Hakuba Cortina: 40-50cm Tsugaike Kogen busting through (or to) the 3m snow depth mark. Happo-one adding 50cm to the upper slopes snow depth. 80cm up at Hakuba 47! You could almost say that's... bottomless! ;) Didn't quite see that coming. I don't think anyone will have any problems finding some deep powder conditions to play in today. Just be careful! It does look like Goryu have been 'dealing' with the snow on the upper slopes and so opening later than planned but apart from that there doesn't seem to be any disruption and thankfully there isn't enough wind to cause any issues with lifts. It's not even really that cold this morning. Snow clouds forecast to ease later today and then we might get to see some sun tomorrow. Fantastic.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . We didn't get to see much of the sun at all yesterday in the end, but this morning the sun is out and while there's lots of cloud around still it looks set to be a fine day here in Hakuba. It's keeping very cold though which should keep the snow conditions good out there. Talking of snow, a mixed report this morning. While Goryu reported 0-10cm and Hakuba 47 reported 5-10cm, Hakuba Cortina to the north in Otari has been reporting 20-50cm this morning. Some difference that! Based on those numbers, Cortina sounds like a good choice though I'm sure it will be good wherever this morning. At the time of writing, the Gondola, Line C and Line E lifts at Hakuba 47 are not operating due to windy conditions on the mountain. Down here in the village there isn't much of a wind.

A bit more snowfall in the village to report this morning and varying amounts reported from the resorts around the valley, all noted below where available.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . There was a bit of sun shining through my window this morning for a short while. Didn't last long though and then I found out how cold it was this morning. -10C said the thermometer when I got up! It's a warmer -7 degrees now, so yes it's a cold start to the day in Hakuba. No new cm of snow to report though this morning though we might get some during the day today. Thick clouds once again over the mountains making visibility limited - and in some cases very limited. Tomorrow looks set to be clear and sunny. Hopefully it will keep cold. Hakuba Goryu: Reporting 0cm of new snowfall.

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 15cm Snowfall at base this season 251cm Posted on Tuesday 21st January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . And it's a good morning from Hakuba. After a grey and cloudy day yesterday, it was snowing by nighta time and this morning we have a good new layer of snow to report. 20-25cm at Goryu; 35-38cm at 47; 12cm at Happo; 20-30cm at Cortina. So differing amounts being reported but all of them coming in with fresh so it should be a very good morning on the slopes. Variable but about 10-15cm here at village base I'd say. It doesn't feel quite as cold here at base either this morning though temperatures higher up on the mountain remain down to minus double digits. Fairly calm though and while it is not snowing while I write this it looks like snow is falling at higher elevations. Generally poor visibility on mountain as well this morning. Looks like a total foggy white-out on Happo at the moment! So snow forecast for the day today and perhaps into tomorrow. Followed by clearer conditions and milder conditions at the end of the week, hopefully followed by snow on Saturday. There's a chance of a bit of rain before the snow though, we can just hope that bit doesn't happen. That's what the latest forecast has for us anyway.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Nice day yesterday, mostly cloudy but bright with some blue sky from time to time. Snow came in the evening and this morning we have a few cm at base and up to 30cm being recorded by Cortina this morning. Take Cortina out of the equation though and it's more like 5-10cm on the resorts around the village. Goryu and 47 both reporting that number for their upper slopes. Quite strong winds on the mountain this morning with top lifts at Goryu with the Panorama and Grand Prix courses closed. At Happo the Kurobishi Number 3 pair and Skyline Number 2 pair lifts are also not moving due to wind conditions. As far as I can tell other areas are all operating as normal. There's an ou-yuki (heavy snow) warning out right at the moment for Hakuba, but for the moment while it is snowing it isn't doing so that heavily and just cloud on the forecast for this afternoon, so not quite sure what to make of that. Perhaps later this morning. Cloudy weather currently forecast for tomorrow and then some heavy snowfall around Tuesday which might bring us some large numbers. Hakuba Goryu: Reporting 3cm at Iimori, 5cm at Toomi and 10cm on upper slopes. Upper - 275cm Toomi - 160cm Iimori - 130cm Hakuba 47: Reporting 5cm of new snowfall at base and 10cm on upper slopes.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Clouds started to move in yesterday afternoon and snow was falling on the mountains as darkness arrived. Overnight we have nothing more than a dusting at base and up to 5cm on upper slopes. This morning snow is falling and visibility is very poor on all but the lower base slopes of the resorts. Can't see much of anything out there. The forecast tells us it should get better this afternoon though and we'll probably have a clear night. Start of another weekend tomorrow of course and it looks like it should start off cloudy/sun. We're looking at snow overnight into Sunday though so if that forecast is right the pick of the weekend for fresh would be Sunday. Doesn't always work like that of course...!

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Morning from Hakuba on this middle day of the long weekend. Snowfall on and off yesterday on the mountains and it was snowing when I last looked outside yesterday night. This morning just a few cm of snow being reported by the resorts and nothing much to report here at base either so it didn't seemingly amount to much. Up to 5cm being reported. It's a cloudy/overcast morning but with some small patches of blue sky and the sun peeking through in places. Perhaps it might clear up as the morning moves on today. It should be snowing by the end of the day though. There's hardly any wind about at the moment and it has been keeping cold, a low of about -9 overnight, but we might see temps rise just above zero today before that snow comes.

By dark it was snowing and seems to have been busy though the night. The largest number coming from Goryu and 47 who are reporting up to 40cm on their upper slopes, more like 10cm at base and that's about what we have in the village. Other resorts are on average around 20-30cm. Snow conditions this morning should be excellent.
