Nozawa Snow Report Sunday 4th of March 2018

Powder days on the way

Good morning, today we will have spring like conditions but the talk around the village is all about the forecast for tomorrow, with the prediction during the previous week swinging from as low as 20cm to well over 50cm it is now a bit over 30cm. Is it an over estimation or an under estimation (we hope it’s an under estimation), we will find out tomorrow what mother nature delivers.

The snow should continue into Tuesday and then sunshine on Wednesday. There is snow also predicted for Friday and Saturday at this stage, we will keep you updated on this one as well.

Last day of February.

Nozawa Snow Report Wednesday 28th  of February 2018

Spring is upon us

Welcome to Nozawa Onsen snow report, with Spring nearly upon us and a base of 330cm we have great conditions for touring, if you have never tried touring it’s a great time to experience it here in Nozawa.

Today we should have partly cloudy conditions with mild temperatures, the next 2 days should be similar but with a chance of light snow. The long range forecast still has a solid dumping of snow at the beginning of next week but that forecast has been swing wildly from moderate snow to very heavy snow, so we will have to wait a see what mother nature can deliver. Maybe it’s time to do that snow dance again.

Have a great day up there, stay safe and we’ll see you on the mountain!
