The First Snow Report of the Season for Nozawa!
We may be getting a little too excited but nearby Shiga Kogen reported 10cm of snow yesterday as can see in this photo on the road to Yokoteyama. The top of Yokoteyama is 2305m and it boasts the highest ski lift in all of Japan. There are fabulous views in all directions and also the highest Bakery in Japan to enjoy at the Sancho Hutte!
So why are we calling this the first snow report? Because if you check the snowforecast there is some snow expected in Nozawa next week! Looks like strong Northwest winds and a sudden cold change hitting us on Monday and some light snow and cold temps expected for the top of Nozawa Monday night. Anyway very early days but feel free to start your favourite snow dance anytime as the countdown to the Winter season begins…
