Top 5 Reasons To Ski In Japan

Check out this great article from the Sydney Morning Herald on the Top Five Reasons to Ski In Japan.

We proudly own and operate 4 fantastic accommodation properties in Nozawa Onsen!

Over the next few weeks we’ll be updating so if you’re looking to ski Japan then you won’t find a better deal!

With Nozawa’s amazing snow conditions we are finding more and more call for premium level snow boards and visitors are pushing themselves harder in the powder and on the piste. As we posted earlier in the season we got a big shipment of Jones Powder Boards in to the store but felt we needed to compliment our Premium range with some all mountain snowboards.

That’s where the Never Summer range has come in. 
Never Summer’s reputation of quality and durability began in the early years of snowboarding. Designing and building snowboards since 1983 each board is carefully handcrafted in Denver, Colorado, with factory precision tolerance and a unique hand crafted feel.

We have a great range from their models to really help you enjoy your time in Nozawa to the fullest. Drop by and see Ryan and the boys for some suggestions and to rent a board.

From only 3000 Yen a day for board and bindings!

Snow for the weekend

Good morning everyone.  Not a cloud in the sky today as we get ready for another weekend here in Nozawa.  Still expecting snow for tomorrow evening for those itching to get their powder fix.  We should have 3 days of moderate snow, a slight reprieve and then continuing for 2 days of light snow.

Basically snow is coming and let’s continue with the unexpected theme and hope that the numbers we receive outshine the predictions!

Better get those boards and skis waxed and ready.

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