Spring has sprung in Nozawa Onsen
Yesterday, we welcomed some glorious t-shirt weather! The sun graced the day from mid-morning and stuck around until dusk, casting a delightful glow on everything around. Seeing the number of people out and about in town and around the mountain was a sign that these warmer days are certainly being welcomed by all. As for today, anticipate calm winds with some light rain this morning, turning to snow later on. This marks the beginning of another snowfall we are expecting mid-week! What a March we have had for snow… Amidst the powder days we are starting to see more frequent warmer days providing us with a nice blend of winter and spring.
If you’re looking for an excuse to give your legs a break from the abundant amount of powder we’ve experienced this March, consider checking out the Snow Monkey Tours.

Snow Forecast ❄️
Warmer weather again for today, with cloud cover and light to moderate rain expected in town with snow to commence up top. Very light wind expected also today. We are anticipating the freezing level to progressively come throughout today, into Tuesday and hit below 700 m again late Tuesday night. Up top should potentially receive 15-25 cm of fresh snowfall with the rest of mountain variable depending on the temperatures. Light to variable winds to be experienced Tuesday and moderate winds into the night back from the cold northwest. Wednesday sees the sun come out again and still cold temperatures thus maintaining the snow base. Thursday and Friday will be southerly winds with the temps coming slightly up but will not affect the base up top too much. May have some light rain over the new weekend coming. Enjoy the start to a new week in Spring!
