More mountain opening today!

Good morning from sunny Nozawa Onsen! 🌞 The mountain offers incredible visibility and breathtaking views again today. Winds are strong up top, so the Nagasaka Gondola may slow or pause—hopefully, they ease soon. Slopes are freshly groomed and in pristine condition, with negative temps keeping the snow perfect. The mountain is open top-to-bottom, except Skyline, where groomers are hard at work. Hikage Kids Park opens today! At 11 AM join us at Hikage for some local treats, drinks, and a rock-paper-scissors tournament with Naski! ☕Don’t forget to swing by the Ski Locker Café, now open for your morning coffee fix on the way to the slopes. Big snowfall is expected tonight through Tuesday—stay safe and enjoy!

❄️ SNOW FORECAST:

We’ve got some strong westerly winds picking up and set to increase throughout the day hopefully lifts will remain in full operation, but some temporary hold offs are expected. Strong winds will continue to keep Nozawa frosty with not only temps dropping but also some big numbers that should cover the mountain in fresh white! Currently the forecast is showing around a meter of snow expected to fall across the resort in the next 72h. Fairly warm temps compared to yesterday on the mountain today but that will change quickly, dropping to -10 degrees and -12 during the night down in the village, so be careful on the roads on Sunday morning as it might get icy! Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts before Nozawa turns into a snow globe!
