Expect the unexpected

Good morning everyone.  Well we started with a spectacular bluebird day yesterday. Our 5cm that was predicted turned into 20cm overnight!  We’re loving these unexpected snow falls, if the conditions are right the Nozawa snow gods are giving us the goods.

Powder to be found up there so go hunting.

Our next big snowfall is still on track for Saturday, so you’ll need a snorkel for the weekend.

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

Blue bird morning

It’s been a great couple of days here in Nozawa Onsen, with dumps over night then sun throughout the day. I bet there are a few tired bodies today from all that skiing and snowboarding. We’ve woken up to another glorious morning today and have a prediction of some light snow this afternoon and into the night.

Might need some sunscreen on over the next couple of days before the new snow system predicted joins us on the weekend.

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

Snow gods keep on delivering.

Well February you are a beauty!  Another stealth fall of 40cm Sunday evening and with picture perfect conditions yesterday we had a sunny bluebird morning.

We woke up to another dumping overnight and February is shaping up to be fantastic.  We should see a few light days of snow this week and then on the weekend it’s predicted again to start another cycle.

Did you guys do your snow dances? I think the snow gods were watching!

Remember to stay safe and ride with a friend especially after we’ve had a lot of fresh snow fall.  We’ll see you up there!

Waking up to powder

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

Waking up to powder

Good morning everyone.

Got to love waking up to fresh powder in the morning. Get up there and make the most of this amazing snow.

The clouds rolled in yesterday afternoon and whilst we slept Nozawa was blanketed in snow. Conditions should be great all over the mountain with little wind and snow continuing to fall throughout the day. This is what we have been waiting for, a little later than expected, definitely worth the wait.

Its not over yet with more snow on the way. Get those skis and boards waxed, hire out some powder gear if you don’t have any and get amongst Nozawa at its greatest.

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

Sunshine days here in Nozawa Onsen

Good morning everyone.  A great day was had on piste yesterday.  Sunshine and blue skies for most of the day and some snowfall in the afternoon.

Forecast is showing just over 10cm this afternoon with a chance of snow every day until Wednesday.  Looks like we have another snow front coming towards us next weekend.  Let’s hope the forecast hangs in this week and we’ll be powder hunting on the weekend.

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