Road Bike Tour Japan

Cool change in the air for Nozawa

Wake up to close to 0 degrees temps on my doorstep this morning. The low lying fog early also giving things a distinct wintery feel. Yesterday was fun on the slopes under the cloud cover with some welcome shade from the sunny days.

Visibility has cleared up since this morning and should be some nice conditions on the piste for some turns. Pretty quiet in town too ahead of the weekend. Local kids started Spring holidays today so expecting some family fun about town this weekend.

As the snow starts to recede and many mountain roads open up thoughts shift to the bike and a great time of year when you can ski in the morning and take a ride in the afternoon. Maybe not on the lake though not sure that ice will hold. From this coming Autumn we will be running Cycling Tours of the local area. So many beautiful mountain roads and passes to discover.

Weather; Mixed bag with cloud but clearing now

🚡LIFTS IN OPERATION: All except Karasawa

FORECAST:

Snow on the menu from this evening into tomorrow and we may see as much as 20cm fall up top. Down low we may get rain as not sure the temperature dive will be enough. So get up high where it should fall all day tomorrow ahead of some sunshine from Sunday on where we fall back into Spring conditions. Light winds all the way through and reckon Sunday will be the pick.

Hope to see you on the slopes in Nozawa or on the bike later this year
