❄️ SNOW FORECAST:

Heavy snowfall is expected throughout the week, with totals stacking up to 2.5 meters by early next week. The heaviest dumps are forecast for Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, fueled by strong western winds reaching up to 50 km/h at times. Expect deep powder conditions, but also potential lift delays and reduced visibility in exposed areas.
Temperatures are staying brutally cold, with highs of around -10°C to -12°C and lows dropping into the -20s at higher elevations during the night. This means light, dry powder, perfect for riding, but be sure to layer up. Avalanche risks may rise in off-piste areas, so take care if venturing beyond the resort boundaries.
Stay safe and enjoy the legendary Nozawa conditions!
