Meter of Powder in Late March
A meter of powder in late March for Nozawa. Feeling on top of the world after yesterday’s epic powder day in Nozawa Onsen! Surpassing the 3m base snow mark this season has everyone buzzing with excitement around the resort! Yesterday’s non-stop snowfall gifted us endless first tracks and left us happily exhausted, with some of our regular Nozawa Holidays guests calling it their best day on the slopes ever. It is still snowing on the door step this morning, but occasional sunshine expected to sneak through later setting us up for another epic March day on the slopes. Bundle up because today’s forecast predicts consistently cold temperatures. If anything, March has taught us that winter vibes persist well into spring here, making any time the perfect time to experience Nozawa Onsen’s charm.
