❄️ SNOW FORECAST:
Winter is back in full force this week! After today’s mild and sunny conditions, we’re looking at a major shift, with heavy snowfall starting Monday night and continuing through Thursday. Expect daytime temps to drop significantly, hovering around -5°C to -12°C at the base and even colder up top, perfect for keeping that fresh powder light and dry. Winds will pick up midweek, with gusts reaching 40–60 km/h, so visibility may be reduced at times. The biggest dump looks set for Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing 30–50 cm of fresh snow, so powder hounds—get ready! Looking further ahead, after a brief clearing mid-next week, more snow could be on the way by the weekend, keeping Nozawa’s slopes in top condition. Stay tuned for updates, and get those powder boards ready!
