Fresh snow fell at Gazprom, Krasnodar Krai, 18cm, and at Hakuba Valley, Nagano, 17cm.
Gazprom leads today with 18cm of fresh snow in Krasnodar Krai. That is the highest reported total among qualifying resorts for Sunday, November 8, 2026. The report lists the new snow as fresh, which suggests soft coverage on groomed runs and in sheltered gullies at lift-served elevations. Conditions will be most favourable away from wind-scoured ridges and exposed faces.
Hakuba Valley in Nagano followed closely with 17cm of fresh snow. Those two resorts are the only qualifiers in this bulletin, and they sit on opposite sides of the Eurasian landmass, which is notable; the Russian Caucasus and Japanese Alps both picked up meaningful early-season totals. Both reports specify fresh snow, so expect recent accumulation rather than wind-hardened crust. There are no additional qualifying figures to indicate a wider pattern of sustained dumping across other major ranges today.
The present data points to pockets of soft snow at higher elevations for the next day or two, provided temperatures remain low enough to preserve it. There is no forecast data attached to these reports, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a prediction. If temps hold cold overnight, the fresh layers will firm slightly and ride well on corduroy and protected stands of trees. If a warm spell follows, those shallow early-season totals will become more consolidated and less forgiving. Check local mountain reports and lift statuses for any updates before planning travel.
