Snow and blue skies on the way!

 

Looking out the window this morning, it’s a much clearer view compared to yesterday! Yesterday’s early afternoon winds have settled, and after a day of heavy to moderate snowfall, the mountain is looking beautifully refreshed. Expect a pleasant day up top with -2°C, slow southern winds, and a chance of clearing skies around midday—perfect conditions for carving up those slopes!

 

 

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, with plenty of sunshine gracing us next week. Will the second half of March be as magical as last year, when meters of fresh powder arrived so late in the season? We’ll find out soon! For now, enjoy the great visibility, soft turns, and get ready for a cooldown with more snowfall coming from Wednesday night! 🎿🏂

❄️ SNOW FORECAST:

What a glorious season it has been so far, with many visitors leaving Nozawa already with plans to return next year! Japan has seen some record-breaking snowfalls this winter, and Nozawa Onsen has been one of the standout destinations, delivering countless days of pure Japanese pow pow! The forecast continues to look fantastic for winter enthusiasts—after weeks of steady snowfall and consistently cold temperatures staying below zero, conditions couldn’t be better. And it’s not over yet! More snowfall is expected from tonight, remaining consistent until Friday morning. Winds will stay calm, below 30km/h, and a sunny Sunday is on the horizon, setting the stage for a clear and slightly warmer week ahead. Stay safe out there, and see you on the mountain!
