Nozawa Onsen Discounts Ski Japan
Haru Yama or Spring Mountain has officially begun in Nozawa
Every year at the end of March regardless of snow depth or the number of guests the Resort closes the lifts at the bottom of the mountain. That day and the start of the Spring Skiing Season started yesterday. You can still ski top to bottom on skiers right down Uenotaira, Paradise and on to the black runs or forest trail but under restriction not 100% sure what that means but probably just to take it easy. Can only ski as far as Hikage then bus back to the Nagasaka Gondola. Most bottom slopes especially south facing are pretty much done now anyway. Up the top at Yamabiko and Uenotaira there is 185cm base so still some fun Spring ski days ahead.
Temp at the top; 13 degrees
New snow since close; 0 cm
Base at the top; 185 cm
Snow conditions; Spring for sure today
Weather; Pretty sunny with some cloud hovering
Lift pass prices have also dropped to the Spring discounts;

Light winds, warm temps and plenty of Sunshine for the rest of the week so make the most of it and soak up the sun on the slopes. Great conditions for the kids or a bit of hiking on the snow so give us a shout for some amazing accommodation deals to go with the reduced lift pass prices.

It is a great time to be in town with no crowds on the lifts or in the restaurants. The snow is forgiving and it is nice and warm so the big and small kids will love it
This shot from just 1 week ago amazing how quick things can change at this time of the season.
