Base up top: 315 cm Temperature: 8 Degrees Base at bottom: 110 cm New Snow: 0 cm Weather: Sunny After a busy weekend we are back to normal here in Nozawa and you have the slopes all to yourself again. Real spring skiing today with temperatures well above freezing and T-Shirt Skiers could be spotted already in the early morning hours. Great fun to carve the first tracks on the freshly groomed slopes and enjoy a cool beer over lunchtime in the sun. Slushy but good conditions yesterday with the sun out all day long. The top runs were the best and skyline yet the perfect run to finish off […]

After a few snowy days and a blue sky yesterday the temperatures are a bit on the rise today. But still good fun to carve down Skyline towards the village and get a few turns in at the slushy bottom part. Fantastic day yesterday. Fresh powder and blue sky is a mix […]

It was snowing heavy all morning and will continue through out the day. Since yesterday afternoon we got more than 20cm of powder up top. Looks like another perfect day in Winter Wonderland Nozawa Onsen. And just so you remember. Today is the 7th of April. […]

While it was raining down low, snow was falling up top and brought more than 15cm of fresh overnight. The snow keeps on coming this morning with big snow flakes falling from the sky out the window right now. Still quite windy but by far not as strong […]
Strong winds today in Nozawa
Base up top: 360 cm Temperature: +2 Degrees Base at bottom: 190 cm New Snow: 0 cm Weather: Overcast, Windy Not too much action today on the slopes in Nozawa. Strong winds closed down the entire mountain by lunch time and skiers could only enjoy the morning on the runs. The top lifts were closed from the start. The Challenge and the Hikage runs were still good fun to ski before the wind picked up more and forced everything to a halt. Guess can’t complain much as this is the first day in a great season where lifts came to a complete stopp. Good excuse to explore Nozawa Onsen a […]
