20cm of Fresh snow for Nozawa
Yesterday the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort was reporting a beautiful 20cm of fresh snow falling across Yamabiko at the top of the resort. Checking the web cams this morning and it is nice and white all the way down to Paradise slope. https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/
We even saw our first snow of the winter in the village yesterday afternoon. It has not settled down here but certainly has up top and the resort is also using the machines to make more snow in the hope of a 25th of November opening. Just like that and Autumn has been engulfed by the white brush of winter. Looking at the 12 day forecast and a little more snow expected next weekend but also some rain on Friday with a southerly wind change. If it doesn’t stay cold enough I would say will be lucky to open but hopefully we can maintain some base and the next dump will be enough.
Long term is showing another dump on the weekend of the 25th November but will have to wait and see as still a long way off. Early days but always nice to see that Winter Switch coming on. If still keen to get in an early ski we have lots of availability before Christmas. So why not beat the crowds and enjoy some early turns.

Will we get to touch the sign this season?
