Heavy snow and freezing temps!

 

This morning began with a light snowfall that will steadily keep building throughout the day turning heavy in the afternoon. However, strong winds at the top of the mountain are making their presence known — the gondola is running at a slower pace and may be put on hold if conditions worsen, so please plan ahead.

 

 

With temperatures dropping to a frosty -10°C up top and a noticeable chill even in the village, today’s a day to bundle up! The snow base at the summit is holding strong at 240cm, but that number could climb quickly with heavy snowfall forecasted to bring around 80cm over the next 48 hours, lasting until Thursday night!
Although visibility was a challenge yesterday, the fresh snow brought big smiles to everyone on the slopes.
Exciting times are ahead, with potentially record-breaking snowfalls in the coming days showing up on the forecast. It’s also going to get even colder, especially as we head into next week. Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy every powder-filled moment here in Nozawa Onsen! 🎿⛷️
