Hakuba Cortina is a resort in Nagano - Hakuba (Japan) skied between 880 and 1379 metres, with 8 km of pistes and 5 lifts.
The camera shows real visibility and snow on the ground, not the forecast. Snow depth by altitude — 880 to 1379 m — and the days ahead are in the Hakuba Cortina snow report.
Which lifts and runs Hakuba Cortina opens is published by the resort every morning and changes with the wind: the upper ones, up to 1379 m, are the most exposed. If the camera is a white blur mid-morning, that is usually why.
