Lessons Nozawa Japan
Nozawa Onsen Discounts Ski Japan
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 […]

Home office Nozawa Japan
Home office Nozawa Japan Spring is in the air in Nozawa Another beautiful sun filled day here in Nozawa. Similar dominant pattern that we can expect for a while now. Clear skies, light winds and general Spring conditions. Lots of fun for cruising the groomers, hitting the park or for some touring. These conditions are great and we love this time of year but it is maybe a little earlier than normal. We usually get some good dumps the first 2 weeks or so of March and often little surprise ones in April. It may still come, just have to wait and see but in the mean time embrace the joy of Spring Skiing in Nozawa Temp at the top; […]
