New Snow; 25cm
Base at top ; 290cm
Feels like it has been a little while now since I have said it but overnight we have come close again to the Magic Foot.
The official is saying we have had 25cm and my car is showing at least that.
Still snowing lightly outside at the moment and forecast to continue lightly throughout the day.
The hungry powder hounds were all up early and hitting the slopes.
Should be an awesome day with not much of a crowd as yet before the National Holiday tomorrow.
Yesterday was not a bad day up top with varying visibility but the snow was nice under foot.
The outlook is for some sunshine tomorrow and then the dump on Saturday so looking like a great long weekend to be in Nozawa.
Will be quite a few events on up here including the Jazz Festival at Arena on the evening of the 12th and the Long Rail Challenge on Sunday the 13th from 9am. With the winner taking home a 30kg bag of rice.That’s Food for thought!
We are pretty much fully booked for this weekend but March is still looking good and with all the snow we have had so far the base should hold nicely through March then into some good spring conditions ahead.
Jetstar has a sale on 2 for 1 to Japan for April so a good chance to enjoy Nozawa and even check out teh Cherry Blossoms.
It’s a beautiful day
Was snowing after lifts closed for a little while yesterday so should be a nice dusting on offer this morning.
Along with the blue bird weather should make for a perfect day on the slopes.
Yesterday the snow just kept falling most of the day and there were some nice little powder sections to be had even though the visibility was not the best.
Should continue fine for the rest of the day them some snow again tomorrow.
Friday and Saturday are still looking like a major dump so should be a good long weekend in the Mountains

Tomii san Olympian and Maruji Lodge Owner as well as being a nice guy
Last year he put in a new Fire Place and a very cool chill out room, perfect place for a few cold beers and tall stories after a day on the slopes.
