Asia Snow Report Mar 21: Hakuba Impresses

Hakuba, with its SnowSure score of 27, is at the forefront of Asia's ski scene today, despite its current 1cm snow base. Happo-One, also scoring 27, matches Hakuba in forecast potential with 8cm expected over the next two weeks. Kiroro, with a substantial 52cm base, offers more immediate skiing opportunities, although its forecast is slightly less promising at 5cm. Niseko's resorts, including Grand Hirafu and Hanazono, provide decent bases of 35cm and 90cm respectively, but their forecasts show less significant snowfall. These figures highlight the diverse terrain quality across Asia, with each resort offering unique conditions for avid skiers.

Unfortunately, no significant snowfall has graced Asia's ski resorts over the last 24 hours. However, this shouldn't deter powder enthusiasts, as conditions remain promising in resorts like Kiroro with its solid base. While fresh powder may be sparse today, the consistent snow base in several locations ensures that skiing remains enjoyable, with terrain offering varied challenges for skiers of all skill levels.

Looking ahead, Hakuba and Happo-One are set to receive the most snowfall in Asia over the next two weeks, with 8cm expected. Tomamu and Shiga Kogen also show promise with forecasts of 7cm each. This anticipated snowfall suggests that late March could offer excellent skiing conditions, particularly in Japan's top resorts. Skiers planning trips are advised to keep an eye on these forecasts and consider timing their visits to coincide with fresh snow days for optimal conditions.
