Prelude to the Kiss in Nozawa
Waking up to snow in the village this morning, just light but a nice kind of unexpected top up. Everyone had their eyes on the prize of this “Siberian Dream” that is set to engulf us in a snow globe from tomorrow so didn’t really see this little fall coming. Set to snow the rest of this morning and we should end up with about 10cm on the piste which will make for a great day. But it is really only an introduction to what lies ahead, tomorrow if the forecast is on the money we should get around 50cm and then even more from Friday night.

Yesterday was a fun day on the slopes and great conditions especially up high and great to enjoy some sunshine while it lasts. The Japanese National Junior High school games kick off tomorrow in Nozawa so there will be lots of local school kids about and it should be great to watch. They will be competing in all facets of skiing including jumps, cross country, and alpine. Challenger course looks to be the course for the downhill races so will probably be closed to the public for a while. You can however go along to check it out.
Have a great day and dig out those powder planks as the next few days could get pretty deep in Nozawa.
