March madness finale?
March madness finale?
Yesterday, we experienced a few different seasons in Nozawa Onsen. From snowy mornings under cloudy skies to radiant afternoons bathed in sunshine. The snow quality persisted, thanks to the 12cm top-up of powder we recieved the night before. This potentially marking the season’s last epic powder day! The crowds certainly didn’t let it go to waste. Today is looking like it will be sunny throughout the morning, with the chance of cloud coverage later on. This may assist with preserving the last of the powder from our dump on the mountain this week.
Join us this weekend for the thrilling SBM banked slalom event at Yamabiko B! Watch Japan’s top snowboarders tackle corners and slopes on March 29th and 30th, 2024. With 150 men and 100 women competing, it’s a must-see for snowboarding fans. Don’t miss the action-packed races!
