Spring Skiing with Clear Skies
Spring Skiing with Clear Skies
Nozawa Onsen awoke to yet another beautiful, sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky. Those that go up for the second to last day of the season are sure to be greeted with stunning views and agreeable temperatures. While the season is winding down to an end, there’s still time to get some spring runs in. Yesterday, conditions were sunny and slushy but the slopes were lively with Golden Week visitors. The snow park on Yamabiko remains a fun way to switch things up!
The last two days have marked the beginning of the weekend morning market in downtown Nozawa, with local businesses and farmers lining up booths on Oyu road. Be sure to visit local businesses and check out Golden Week specials, such as Compass’ Shakes and the Yama Juice Shop up on the Mt. Kenashi summit.
