A little ray of sunshine before a Snowy weekend in Nozawa
Surrounded by low level cloud in the Village this morning but a quick check of the web cams and it looks glorious and sunny up top just above town. Check them out here; https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/ Will be a magic day on the slopes, the bit of snow we received yesterday combined with sunshine, light winds and not too many people about.
Yesterday was wintery all day, we got about 10cm up top overnight and it kept falling on and off through the day. Nothing down low but up on the operating slopes got a good top up.

☃️ SNOW FORECAST:
Enjoy the sun while it lasts! According to the forecast we should enter the snow globe from tomorrow night and Super Sunday is looking like heavy snow all day where we could see 60cm or two Magic Feet fall across the resort with heaviest falls on Sunday night. Temps also getting nice and low with Monday morning being my pick for the powder hounds. We should see the sun again on Tuesday and the good news is another decent dump to follow from Wednesday night. Long term looks even more promising but too far away yet to count on it.
For now enjoy the Sunshine and snow to come. Also this Saturday night from 7:30pm on the Main Street will be a festival with free Soup, Historical skiers and a Junken contest. May the best arm win.
