The Big Snow Arrived in Nozawa

There were some big sighs of relief last night around the Onsen
The big dump we were waiting for has arrived.
Reports show about 50cm of fresh snow has fallen since this time yesterday

There were some good stashes of powder to be had around the resort yesterday
This dump should make it possible to ski top to bottom

The resort has opened more runs today but still more to come, the word on the slopes is all will be open from Saturday
There is a huge dump expected for tomorrow night New Years Eve with around another 50cm due
So looks like will be a very Happy New Year

Base up top at Yamabiko now at 130cm and counting
