Half a meter March Nozawa
Half a meter March Nozawa
Half a meter of snow for mid March in Nozawa!
Report just in from the resort and they are reporting 45cm of fresh snow for the top at Yamabiko. We didn’t get anywhere near that in town but up top with the colder temps looks like was going hard all night. The base has also jumped to a new peak for the season at 280cm! Not bad for spring skiing. It is heavy in the village but at -5 degrees up top it is sure to be good up there so get high as soon as can. Have not heard on the gondola opening yet but think will be ok if not just use the lifts to get up as high as can. Stay safe out there and sure they will be more than enough powder on the runs to satisfy most PowderHounds.

❄️ SNOW FORECAST:
Light snow expected the rest of the day and sunshine from tomorrow finally! It will be pretty chilly up top this morning but from tomorrow we can expect a bit of a spring bubble to encase us for the rest of the week. Guys like Ty from Kaiya Nozawa Lodge who has been patiently waiting in his shorts for spring skiing can finally rejoice. Don’t pack away the powder planks just yet as another winter immersion expected from Monday night and will remain cold and snowy most of next week. March proving to be a bit of a miracle month thanks for snow and helping extend our season here. Anyway better get up there and enjoy this half a meter of fresh. Have a great day, stay safe and make sure your kids don’t get buried.
