Half a meter March Nozawa
Half a meter March Nozawa Half a meter March Nozawa Half a meter of snow for mid March in Nozawa! Report just in from the resort and they are reporting 45cm of fresh snow for the top at Yamabiko. We didn’t get anywhere near that in town but up top with the colder temps looks like was going hard all night. The base has also jumped to a new peak for the season at 280cm! Not bad for spring skiing. It is heavy in the village but at -5 degrees up top it is sure to be good up there so get high as soon as can. Have not heard on the gondola opening yet but think will […]
White Forecast Ahead in Nozawa
White Forecast Ahead in Nozawa White Forecast Ahead in Nozawa Weather predictions for the start of this week came true with fresh snow starting to cover the mountain and plenty more on the way. A positive change bringing us back to the winter wonderland after last week spring spike.

Yesterday’s morning freeze covered the trees on the top of the mountain creating beautiful landscapes to admire with light snowfall joining for the show later in the afternoon. After a busy long weekend on the slopes today should be quieter across the resort […]
One Meter Snow Nozawa
One Meter Snow Nozawa Oh what a night in Nozawa! Forget about the “Magic Foot” how about the “Magic Meter!” 90cm of fresh snow overnight for Nozawa and still snowing! Two feet are better than one but Three feet are amazing! We were excited to see a Magic Foot of fresh snow yesterday morning and today we are waking up to Three feet or 90cm of fresh snow! It snowed most the day yesterday but just intensified once the sun went down. It was one of those crazy Siberian storms when the sky was just full of flakes and it felt like would never stop. I have been here for more than 30 winters now and it still amazes […]
Onsen Day Nozawa Onsen
Onsen Day Nozawa Onsen ♨️ Great day for an Onsen in Nozawa Onsen Waking up in a cloud this morning in Nozawa with rain falling in the village. Good chance it is raining up top too, the silver lining is temps are set to drop throughout today and it should turn to snow after lunch. The gondola is running so head up if keen. There are 13 free onsens in Nozawa and various private ones they are all housed in beautiful traditional Japanese buildings. It’s a great way to experience the local culture and makes you feel terrific, with the natural minerals it soothes away those aches and pains, and will help you bounce back the next day! Just be […]
