KNOWING THE SLOPES NOZAWA

KNOWING THE SLOPES NOZAWA
The clouds are set to roll out throughout the morning and with sunshine expected throughout the day. Winds have eased off since last light and the temperatures on top of the mountain are back in the low negatives of -3 with the wind chill sitting relative. In town it’s a different story with temperatures set to creep into the low positives with a max of 5 degrees predicted this afternoon. Sitting at -1 currently. Visibility will be perfect on the mountain, so head to Skyline to catch a gorgeous view of the Nagano Prefecture.
Heading up the mountain for the first time can be a little daunting at times if you don’t know your way around. There is a lot of ground to cover and when you’re on top of the mountain it can be a little hard to navigate.
