Easter Holidays Ski Japan
Easter Holidays Ski Japan Easter Holidays Ski Japan Another Pinch me type of day in Nozawa Yesterday Nozawa delivered the goods with what some of the crew that have been here for the season calling it their best. Fresh snow, sunshine and all the elements coming together. Perfect on the groomers and some nice powder stashes on the sides.

No fresh snow to report but there will still be a bit lingering from yesterday. TODAY: 🌡️ Temperature at Nagasaka top: -2 Degrees ❄️ New snow since […]

Last year March was the best month of the season and always my favourite time of year. Good base, some nice dumps and can often get an Onsen to myself 🙂 Not looking like […]
Are we done with shovelling?
Are we done with shovelling? Are we done with shovelling? This morning in Nozawa Onsen, we’re waking up to overcast skies with occasional clearings, setting the stage for a mostly cloudy day with light snowfall expected throughout. With midweek in full swing, the slopes are noticeably quieter than the weekend rush—offering more space and freedom for those carving their way down the mountain. Yesterday brought mostly cloudy skies, but fresh snowfall in the afternoon and evening gave the resort a refresh. A 15cm of fresh overnight has topped up the base, and with more snow on the way in the coming days, we’re left wondering—could this be our last big dump of the season? Stay tuned and make the […]

But hold onto your beanies because a big dump is incoming from tomorrow night! NW winds are approaching, bringing another round of deep snow to keep the season going strong. Looking ahead, the long-term forecast is calling for sunnier and slightly warmer days, […]
